    Textarea and Breakline

    Hi,
    just want to know how can i possibly do having a breakline while typing inside the textarea box.. um, just like doing in blog page... so you can put break lines or paragraph.? sorry i cant exactly figure out the problem, but i hope you got the idea in typing paragraph in textarea in a blog page. i guess this is some kind of a javascript language...

      Hi,

      let me just make sure I got the problem right, you want to write something in a textbox and have the formatting, in this case breakline, correct?

      Just like you assumed my guess is you need some javascript textbox that preserves formatting, don't think you can control this using php unfortunately.

      Try posting in the javascript forum.

      Cheers.

          once key in the ENTER key if you want to start with a new line you can use nl2br(). see the sample here. but I think you may better to use a advance editor.

          [code=html]
          <html>
          <head>
          </head>

          <body>
          <form action="line_br akes_in_text_ar eas_.php" method="post">
          <textarea name="txt_nl2br " rows="" id="txt_nl2br"> </textarea>
          <input name="nl2br" type="submit" id="nl2br" value="nl2br" />
          <br />
          <textarea name="txt_norma l" rows="" id="txt_normal" ></textarea>
          <input name="Normal" type="submit" id="Normal" value="Normal" />
          <br />
          </form>
          </body>
          </html>[/code]

          [code=php]
          <?php
          if(isset($_POST['nl2br'])){
          echo nl2br($_POST['txt_nl2br']);
          }
          if(isset($_POST['Normal'])){
          echo $_POST['txt_normal'];
          }
          ?>
          [/code]
