format a textarea filled in by CF var 1

[dv8er88]

What I would like to do seems that it sould be simple.
I want to pass a variable to a text area and have it show the breaks.

1. I set the var
<cfset output_text = "Price " & #price# & "<br>" "Shipping " & #shipping#>

Now if I <cfoutput>#output_text#</cfoutput>
it looks great.

But if I try to output it in a textarea the breaks show as <br> in the text area.

<cfoutput><textarea rows=4,cols=80>#output_text#</textarea></cfoutput>

Try using the ASCII value for a carriage return or line feed,
<cfset output_text = "Price " & #price# &
"#CHR(13)#Shipping " & #shipping#>

13 is a carriage return 10 is a line feed.
