Hi Peter,
I don't know if you want to add a new blank line to the text the visitor is typing.If it's that way,this sould be work for you:
<html>
<head>
<title>BR PAGE</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function writeBR()
{
key=event.keyCode;
if(key==13)
{
document.myform.textbox.value=document.myform.textbox.value+' ';
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform">
<textarea cols="20" rows="5" name="textbox" onKeyDown="writeBR()"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>
If you want to specify the 'cols' attribute let's say to 20,then in the function you must add 20 blank spaces in the section:
document.myform.textbox.value=document.myform.textbox.value+' ';
(here you put 20 blank spaces if you have 20 cols in your text box).
I hope this helps.
Kindest Regards

function checkKey(obj) {
if(event.keyCode == 13) {
document.execCommand("Paste",false,"<br>"
obj.focus();
}
}
then add onkeyUp="checkKey(this)" to any text boxes you want to check in. it will add the acctual code for a br (only works in msie)
i'm not sure if ns supports ranges or not or you might be able to use them to make a cross browser version.

All this infor is great. But here is another text area question:
I users to be able to enter number signs, single quotemarks, double quotemarks and ampersands. Must they use HTML Character codes or Does Cold Fusion have an answer to this?
BTW I want them to be able us modify text with HTML code as well.
Is there a good book out there on this stuff.
