how can I insert line break into a TextArea control

[Ken011]

Greetings everyone,

This is probably a cheap one, for that I apologize.

I will like to insert a br into a textArea so that when I hit then return key, the next text begins on a new line.

So far, everying is wrapping naturally which is fine but I want to be able to begin a new paragraph on a new line.

Can someone please help?

Comments: <textarea cols="20" rows="8" name="comments" maxlength="200" WRAP="Virtual"> </textarea>

thanks much in advance

Add chr(13) where you want a newline eg

comments.value = _
"When shall we three meet again" & chr(13) &_
"In thunder lightning or in rain"

to be complete :
<% comment = "take a break..." & chr(13) & chr(10) & "and begin a new line" %>
chr(10) takes a linefeed
chr(13) takes a carriage Return

Tip: You can use [tt][red]vbCrLf[/red][/tt] as a shortcut for [tt]chr(13) & chr(10)[/tt]
