Carriage Return in TextArea

[esearing]

Can anyone tell me how to force a carriage return in a textarea box. Code below writes text to box but puts each iteration of LINVmmyy next to previous iteration.

*********************************************************
document.write (&quot;<textarea name='IBIF_adhocfex' rows='10' cols='50' value align='LEFT'>&quot
while (num <= sMths)
{
document.write (&quot;linv&quot; +sMth +sYear)
/***need forced return here**/
num=num +1
sMthi=sMthi +1
sMth=sMthi
sYear=sYeari
}
document.write(&quot;</textarea>&quot

*************************************
Current Output [LINV0101LINV0201]
Need [LINV0101
LINV0201]

try reducing the size of cols. Make it 30 or 20.

To place a carriage return in a textarea, all you need is to write the characters &quot;\n&quot; after each line:

*********************************************************

document.write (&quot;<textarea name='IBIF_adhocfex' rows='10' cols='50' value align='LEFT'>&quot;)    
while (num <= sMths)
{
document.write (&quot;linv&quot; +sMth +sYear +&quot;\n&quot;)
/***got your forced return above***/
num=num +1
sMthi=sMthi +1
sMth=sMthi
sYear=sYeari
}
document.write(&quot;</textarea>&quot;)[/code}

*************************************

Sorry, messed up the TGML. That should have been:

document.write (&quot;<textarea name='IBIF_adhocfex' rows='10' cols='50' value align='LEFT'>&quot;)    
while (num <= sMths)
{
document.write (&quot;linv&quot; +sMth +sYear +&quot;\n&quot;)
/***got your forced return above***/
num=num +1
sMthi=sMthi +1
sMth=sMthi
sYear=sYeari
}
document.write(&quot;</textarea>&quot;)

Many Thanks!

&quot;\r&quot; is what I was looking for but &quot;\n&quot; seems to work just as well.
