replacing line breaks with <br>

[emms]

I'm sure this is an easy one but it's driving me mad.

I'm using Jscript and have tried:

Headline = replace(Request.Form(&quot;Headline&quot, vbCr, &quot;<br>&quot;
Headline = replace(Request.Form(&quot;Headline &quot, lr, &quot;<br>&quot;
Headline = Replace(Request.Form(&quot;Headline &quot, Chr(13), &quot;<br>&quot;

all return an error:

'vbCr' is undefined
'lr' is undefined
Object expected


any help would be hugely appreciated!

thanks

Emma

You need to use this to represent the line break:

String.fromCharCode(13)

Having said that, I don't think you can use the Replace function in JavaScript like that. I'm still checking what the equivalent is...

Actually, have a look at this. I forgot about the \n for a new line:

<%
myString = &quot;Line 1\nLine 2&quot;

Response.Write(&quot;<p>&quot; + myString + &quot;</p>&quot;)

rExp = /\n/gi;
results = myString.replace(rExp, &quot;<br />&quot;)

Response.Write(results)
%>
