<BR> & Newline

[stoggers]

Hi,

I use Response.Write with embedded <BR> tags to write out a formatted page that I want users to cut & paste into a document.

However, I find that, although the text appears correctly on the screen (due to the <BR>'s) the cut text appears as a single stream of characters.

How do I ensure that they can paste exactly what appears on the screen?

Thanks,

Stoggers.

Were did you try to paste text?
Usually on the notepad it will apear corectly unless you paste in in an text box. ________

I can't recreate this problem. Create a test page with the below code and try this. I have copy/pasted into notepad and Word with no problems and all line breaks intact:

<%=&quot;Here is line 1<br>And here is line 2<br>Oh, and here is another line&quot;%>

Hi,

Just discovered what is causing my problem - the text is within <PRE> & </PRE> and this seems to cause the cut & paste to behave strangely...
