Format Text Data into Paragraphs

[Javamahn]

I am in the process of writing a News page. The page uses text data from a mySQL text field. Users input the news story via a VBSCRIPT page. The body of the story is inputted using a text area. Is there a way to format the output to mimic the users input text?

I would like to avoid user having to use special characters to designate Carriage Returns & Line Feeds. How can I get all of that information from the Users Input into the database and then back out to the display page?

I found my answer. All I had to do was look a little deeper in this forum. Replace() seems to be the answer

Replace again, you can do a replace on Chr(9) (tab) with whatever you would like to use to indent. Common methods include use non-breaking spaces (&nbsp, Empty divs with CSS width's, etc, anything to indent the one line.
