display a textfield on a table!

[bluecoco]

hi guys,
i have the followin' problem:

i used a textarea to store the followin' text in a sql database-field called 'f_comments':
LINE ONE.
LINE TWO.
LINE THREE.

i did display the contents of 'f_comments' on another textarea-box, i got the same format i entered:
LINE ONE.
LINE TWO.
LINE THREE.

but when i tried to display the contents of 'f_comments' on a table, i got the contents on one line as the followin':
LINE ONE.LINE TWO.LINE THREE.

i need to get 'f_comments' displayed on a table in the same format i entered.

does anyone know how to solve that problem?
with regards bluecoco >> never lose hope ..

This code shows you how to do an ASCII dump of a text area. The bottom line is that the end of each line will have an ASC 10 and 13 appended to the end of the line. You can use this information to parse out your lines and format them properly within your HTML.
