Formatting text that is pulled from a DB

[tomomark]

Hi Everyone,

Im using Dreamweaver MX to create basic .NET websites

I can enter text into a database field, and the database retains the formattion (i.e Line breaks), however unless i put that text back into a textarea, it will lose its line breaks and just show it all in a long string...any ideas why or how to output this text retaining its formating?

Use textboxes with textmode="multiline". That will work.

textboes with Multiline is a TEXTAREA . . . any other ideas?
