Assigning values from variables to textarea field on form

[rondavid]

I have a asp page that reads data from a text file and assigns the data to a textarea field on my form using the following command on the window load event:

thisform.textarea1.value = &quot;<%=aTxtA(1)%>&quot;

This code works fine, but the problem I'm having is that I cannot assign the newline. If the data contains 3 lines in the text file then I want to display in the textarea the 3 line exactly as they appear in the text file. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice. Thanks

does aTxtA(1) hold all the three lines?
if yes then do this
aTxt=replace(aTxtA(1),&quot;vbcrlf&quot;,&quot;\n&quot

thisform.textarea1.value = &quot;<%=aTxt%>&quot;

Note:
This code is strictly experimental.
