Hello, when I use the HTML <textarea> input field in a form, any of the carriage returns are removed when a user hits submit. When I query the form on the subsequent APS page, the line spacing is gone and the results become a jumbled mess. Does anyone know how to keep the line spacing intact?

Problem with <textarea> and vbscript

2 questions:
Are you using a form with method = post?
If you are,
Have you tried pre-processing the form by applying the javascript escape() function?
If you're doing both to no avail, you'll need to write a javacript function that replaces carriage returns (use google to get key code) with text you specify i.e. _CARRTN_ and then do the inverse on the other end.
