Using Textarea tag in CF

[bboehle]

I have a page set up where a person enters news for the site, that enters in to a database then is displayed on another page. Currently I have it set up as a Textarea that uses insert to put it in to an access 2000 database. The field in access is set up as memo to allow for a large amount of characters. However if they enter news as multiple paragraphs using the enter key to seperate the paragraphs when it is displayed it all runs together as one paragraph. How can I get it to save and use the formatting?

Thanks!

I don't know if this is the best way to do it but when you output the variable instead of:

#Trim(YourTable.TextField)# or whatever

Do this instead:

#Replace(Trim(YourTable.TextField),Chr(10),&quot;<br>&quot;,&quot;ALL&quot#

This has worked great for me the few times I've needed it. Andrew

Or try setting the textarea wrap=hard, and use <pre> tags around the output. This will work with less coding.
