<textarea> formatting. Possible?

[MinusMyThoughts]

hi again!...i've got a dynamically loading page now that displays the contents of my selected database entry for editing and so on. if this website were a game, i'd be winning. ...i've got a problem, though, with the way my textarea is reading the database. when i put my variable into the textarea, it's placing a <br/> after every line break......so, what i'm asking is this: can you take out HTML from a textarea and preserve the line breaks?...thanks!love,jason

<textarea...><? echo str_replace("<br/>","\n",$code); ?></textarea>

amazing, as always! except i ended up using:str_replace("<br />","",$code);when it was replacing it with "\n" i was causing something that should have looked like this:Test text.More test text.to look like this:Test text.More test text.so by replacing <br /> with nothing, i was able to keep the same formatting without having the potentially confusing HTML in the text......thanks again!love,jason
