TextArea property (javascript)

[Sa1aam]

Hello

Does anyone know how to force a linebreak in a textarea form element.

I am able to display URL's in the textarea, but it comes out as one long text. I have tried using the wrap function as well but it doesn't break up the URL's so they appear one by one under each other.

Is there a way I can manipulate it so it can display the URL's one by one underneath each other???/

thank youu

You can use '\n' to force a line break, e.g.:

textObj.value = 'line1\nline2\nline3';

Hope this helps,

Javascript using document.write - separate each line with a "\n"

<script>
document.write ("<textarea cols='25' rows='5'>this is some text[b]\n[/b]this is some more text[b]\n[/b]this is even more text</textarea>");
</script>

Pure HTML, just place each on it's own line

<textarea cols="25" rows="5">
this is some text
this is some more text
this is even more text
</textarea>
