AJAX problem

[killboy]

How can I send the data of the xmlHttp.open through the post method:

xmlHttp.open("POST",url,true);

The thing is that I'm trying to get a text from a textarea, and when I write a new line, everything gets together; I mean,if I write

Hi there.How's it going

The message appears

Hi there.How's it going

I think that sending this message through the Post method, the xmlHttp.responseText can be viewed correctly.Thanks.

Theres a post example here:http://www.captain.at/howto-ajax-form-post-request.phpKeep in mind that HTML does not show line breaks, it shows them as a space. If you want a line break to show in HTML markup you need to use a <br> tag. You can replace the newline characters with br tags if you want to.

Thanks for the link dude.How can I use the <br> tag? I mean, the text is caught from a textarea.Edit:I made it work. That link really helped. The <br> tags got them with the nl2br() function.Thanks for the help.

nl2br works for PHP. If you want to convert it with Javascript you can use a regular expression, or I typically just split and join.txt = new String(document.getElementById("textfield").value);txt = txt.split("\n").join("<br>");
