Losing CR / LF in TextArea w/vbscript

[JohnBeals]

When submitting a form using vbscript, I loose the CR/LFs.
If I use a submit button instead of vbscript, the CR/LFs are passed.

Using vbscript:

Sub btnOK_onclick
Dim Comments
Comments = document.forms(0).txtComments.value
window.navigate(nextpage.cfm?Comments=" & Comments)

In the code

<FORM name=frmStuff>
<textarea cols=&quot;80&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; name=&quot;txtComments&quot; id=&quot;txtComments&quot; wrap=&quot;soft&quot;>
<INPUT id=btnOK name=btnOK type=button value=OK>
</form>

The above process causes the loss of CR/LFs in my code. However, if I use the standard Submit button to submit the form, the CR/LFs get saved.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
John

i'd say that you're losing the CR/LFs because you're taking the value of that field and passing it via the querystring. i'd try using code to actually do the form.submit, instead of passing the data via your querystring.

Sub btnOK_onclick
    document.forms(0).submit
End Sub

Ahhh. That looks like that will do it. I will then still be able to validate the form before submitting using Vbscript.
Thanks Paul!
