text format

[Gaze]

Hi,

I use <textarea> input more than one paragraph to the database, whose field
type is set to "text". Then I retrieve it to display in <textarea>, which is
OK, paragraph by paragraph, but not in the other tabs because of no <P> or
<br> between each paragraph. Is there any solution to display in other tabs
than <textarea> paragraph by paragraph. Or do I have to change the database
field type other than text? And which type is good in this case. Thanks for
any idea.

You want a regular expression that globally replaces <cr/lf> with the
required HTML tags

I don't see "cr/lf" in the http source code, but \r\n in database when I use
an sofeware to display the records.

The suggestion is more generic. Replace newline characters with
appropriate HTML tags. Just watch out for things like your example of
\r\n - which would show one line break, but if you use a global
search/replace regular expression and replace \r AND \n with <br> then
you will end up with 2 breaks. Either you need to know that ALL breaks
are the combination of \r\n or you need to do some other fancy
footwork.

Or execute a regexp twice:
1st) replace the 1 pair first \r\n
2nd) replace the \r or \n (can't remember which)

I replace enter key chr(13) with <br>. The tab is chr(9)

Replace(yourRecord, chr(13), "<br>")

I solved this issue by using

<% response.write Replace(yourRecord, chr(13), "<br>") %>
