Hi,

let me just make sure I got the problem right, you want to write something in a textbox and have the formatting, in this case breakline, correct?

Just like you assumed my guess is you need some javascript textbox that preserves formatting, don't think you can control this using php unfortunately.

Try posting in the javascript forum.

Cheers.

once key in the ENTER key if you want to start with a new line you can use nl2br(). see the sample here. but I think you may better to use a advance editor.

<body>

<form action="line_brakes_in_text_areas_.php" method="post">

<textarea name="txt_nl2br" rows="" id="txt_nl2br"></textarea>

<input name="nl2br" type="submit" id="nl2br" value="nl2br" />

<br />

<textarea name="txt_normal" rows="" id="txt_normal"></textarea>

<input name="Normal" type="submit" id="Normal" value="Normal" />

<br />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php

if(isset($_POST['nl2br'])){

echo nl2br($_POST['txt_nl2br']);

}

if(isset($_POST['Normal'])){

echo $_POST['txt_normal'];

}

?>
