get page breaks from reqeust.form(someTextArea)

[blueindian1]

Hello,

Page 1 has this code:

<textarea name=&quot;strShipToName&quot;>
<%=strShipToName%>
</textarea>


on the screen, it contain this value:
PO BOX 809123
46 STAFFORD ST
LAWRENCE, KS 000000000
US


Page 2 has this code:

shipTo = request.form(&quot;strShipToName&quot

<tr>
<td>
<%=shipTo%>
</td>
</tr>


HOWEVER, on the screen it diplays as
PO BOX 809123 46 STAFFORD ST LAWRENCE, KS 000000000 US

NOTE THE LACK OF LINE BREAKS!!!

anyone know why this is? i know the var value gets urlencoded with &quot;%0D%0A&quot;, and i've tried replacing the value with &quot;<BR>&quot; and char(13) but to no avail. to make it even more madening, if i print the value to log, it will have the line breaks.

thanks to anyone who can help
