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).

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.

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
