Text boxes and Javascripts and the < br > tag

[peter11]

Are there any javascripts for Text Boxes that:
Will create a <br> tag when a user is typing in a text box and hits the enter key.

If there are not javascripts is there anything else that does this?

All this info is great. But here is another text area question:
I want users to be able to enter number signs, single quotemarks, double quotemarks and ampersands.

I think I understand what the post is saying but do I have to create a <cfset post = replace...> for every possible HTML tag and every keyboard entry except for letters?

Is there a good book out there on this stuff.

Also, Which page does the CFSET Tag get placed on?
The form page OR
the insert page?

Peter,

You probably want the cfset on the insert page. Also you may want to look at regular expressions to try and reduce the amount of work for replacing special characters.

Hope this at least helps with a direction.
