textarea carriage return

[crxcte1]

I've tried setting wrap to hard and soft but can not get a physical wrap. I tried setting to physical from MS help with no change. Anyway to wrap the text in a textarea?

<textarea id="txtBody1" rows="15" wrap="hard" cols="50" runat="server" tabindex="2">

Try this:

<asp:TextBox id="txtContent" runat="server" Columns="50" Rows="10" TextMode="multiline"></asp:TextBox>

More information, using c# and mailing the information in the textarea. After receiving the text there is no carriage return which is evident before mailing.

Added;

<textarea id="txtBody1" rows="15" wrap="soft" cols="50" runat="server" tabindex="2" textMode="multiline"></textarea>

I typed in;

tres
return


then submitted to me in an email and got;

tres return

There needs to be a return at return. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Hmmm...is your email script enabled to send content as HTML? There must be something like isHTML = true in your email object. That might be the problem.

Where in this code should isHtml == true?

void SendThis(string HowToSend)
{
Span1.InnerHtml = "<B>Sending mail to </B>" + HowToSend;
string sFrom = "ClubMail@OKCrunning.org";
string sSubject = txtSubject.Text.Trim();
string sBody = txtBody1.Value;
string sBodyFormat = "HTML";
string sBodyEncoding = Encoding.ASCII.EncodingName;
string sPriority = "HIGH";
string sMailServer = "localhost";
string sendPassword = txtSendPwd.Text;
MailMessage MyMail = new MailMessage();
MyMail.From = sFrom;
MyMail.Subject = "From " + txtSendFname.Text + " " + txtSendLname.Text + ": " + sSubject;
MyMail.Body = sBody;
MyMail.Bcc = "fastaction@cox.net";
if (sBodyEncoding == Encoding.UTF7.EncodingName)
MyMail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF7;
else if (sBodyEncoding == Encoding.UTF8.EncodingName)
MyMail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
else
MyMail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.ASCII;
switch (sBodyFormat.ToUpper())
{
case "HTML":
MyMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
break;
default:
MyMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
break;
}
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = sMailServer;
String FilePath;
FilePath = Server.MapPath("/_database/members.mdb");
//FilePath="C:\\ASPdotnet\\MembersList\\Database\\members2.mdb";
string strConn="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA Source=" + FilePath;
OleDbConnection myConn = new OleDbConnection(strConn);
OleDbDataReader drMembers;
string pwdMatch,CheckPwd,strSQL;
...

Yeah from the code HTML seems to be set. See the lines in your code:

string sBodyFormat = "HTML";

switch (sBodyFormat.ToUpper())
{
case "HTML": 
MyMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html

This is where the HTML is being set. Check if sBodyFormat is actually on HTML.

OK, try one other thing. Take the txtBody1.Value and use the replace function to convert all carriage returns to <BR>.

I used the replace method and it worked like a charm.

Thank you for your help.
