Hello all,

Our Systems Team is creating a form that will enable users to submit an
application,which includes an essay.

The problem: When the user submits the essay through the text form
field, the result we see is one solid block of text with no breaks. We
are trying to avoid depending on the student to add <pfor each paragraph.

What coding is required to translate the keystroke "Enter" as <p>, so
the output will contain paragraph breaks. Of course, the code must be
508 compatible.

Thanks for your help.

nl2br is what I use when working with text areas... Seems to maintain the
formatting pretty well.
