textarea box formatting

[olmos]

I have a textarea field box when submitted gets entered into
the database. When data is entered and a hard return is put
into it, it gets added to the database, which is what I want it to do. I am using the textformat udf .

My problem is if someone decides to just copy and paste text in the textarea box, I don't see any hard returns it gets put into the database as one long string and there is no formatting put into the database.

How can I add the formatting such as a hard return at the
end of each line feed as it is displayed in the textarea box.

thanks,
olmos
