[WEB4LIB] TEXTAREA rendering

[VanderHart, Robert]

Michael,

I thought the WRAP attribute was no longer in the latest HTML spec, even
though it does seem to work within the TEXTAREA.  But WRAP still doesn't
address my question of getting the CR/LF to be rendered once the Submit
button is clicked.

I will be looking further into Alfred's suggestion of the ColdFusion
ParagraphFormat function.

Thanks for your reply.

Robert

You need to add a wrap="" attribute to your textarea. There are several
values to choose from. Find them at
http://www.response-o-matic.com/textareatag.htm.

Sounds like you want:

wrap="hard" This adds hard return characters at the end of each line in the
text box. When "WRAP="Physical" doesn't work, try this one.

Sorry, no way in the markup to change and enter key into a line-break but
this gets you close without having to manipulate the processing script.
