Assume I have a text consisting of multiple (many) lines (e.g. in a textarea). I want to eleminate all blank lines but only those at the beginning o the text. How do I specify the corresponding regular expression? .......replace(/s*n/g,""); replaces ALL blank lines (even if they are later embedded in text). Peter

input textarea or as HTML: <textarea ...> ... </textarea>

Assume in multiple textareas appear some source code text whose number of lines varies from textarea to textarea. Is there a CSS style which I can attach to such a textarea and which tells the browser: "make textarea automatically big (height) enough to show ALL lines in textarea + 1 blank line at the end but NOT bigger/heigher/more rows than necessary? If this is not possible with CSS then at least is there a javascript command which let me calculate the number (and assign the "row" parameter to the textarea? If lines are longer then current textarea width/columns then these lines should be wrapped. Peter

I wanted to replace on a given webpage ALL empty paragraphs <p></p> or (mind the blank!) <p> </p> by nothing. Therefore I coded: var div = document.getElementById("foobar"); div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML.replace("<p></p>",""); ....but it doesn't work. What do I have to change? Furthermore I guess only the first occurence is changed. How do I replace ALL occurencies? Thank you Peter
