textarea field ...

[zekmek]

Hi all,

Here is my problem:

i have a textarea in which i display a field from my database. in this field there are '<br>' characters. so i wanted the textarea to go to a new line when he finds a '<br>'. so i told him to each times he finds a '<br>', replace it by '\n'

The problem now is the user can edit this textarea and submit the changes. so i wanted, before the validation, to replace back the '\n' by <br> but it doesn't seems to work. i have also tried to replace the '\r\n' but the same, doesn't work :-(

has anybody got any idea ?

thanks all

How were you doing this ?

for(int i=0;i<packagePriceDetail.length()-3;i++) {
//out.println(packagePriceDetail.substring(1,5));
if(packagePriceDetail.substring(i,i+4).equals(&quot;<br>&quot)
{
int pos1 = i;
int pos2 = i+4;
packagePriceDetail=packagePriceDetail.substring(0,pos1)+&quot;\n&quot;+packagePriceDetail.substring(pos2);
}
}

This code snippet replaces &quot;<br>&quot; with &quot;\n&quot;.

Didn't you say the problem was with replacing &quot;\n&quot; with &quot;<br>&quot;?   Can we see that code?
