Try this code:
<form>
<textarea name=&quot;ta&quot; onchange=&quot;ta.value = ta.value + String.fromCharCode(13) +'bla1';&quot;>test
eer
ert
</textarea>
</form>

fromCharCode explanation:

13 is ASCII code for &quot;enter&quot;

Hope this helps.

This will do the trick:

Use & #13; (Carriage return) or & #10; (Line feed) in your text. But don't code the space between & and # because.
If I do that in this post than the character will be displaced instead of the code. So code &#...

Good luck,
