Hi,

I'm having difficulty showing linefeeds and linebreaks from data in a memofield on a webpage. The data (text) is only showed correctly (with linefeeds and breaks) when displayed in a (HTML) textarea field. However, I don't want the length of the field to be limited or a scrollbar to show.
I tried replacing "vbLf" and "vbCr" with "<br />" but there don't seem to be any in the text that's stored in the memo fields. There should, shouldn't there?

Anyway, can someone help me along?

THX!!!

 
Have you tried using Chr(10) and/or Chr(13)?
 
IndigoDragon,
If you using Windows try replacing [tt]vbCrLf[/tt] with [tt]<br>[/tt].

Hope this helps,
CMP
