the problem is most likely on your display code.
The textArea form input field allows multiple spaces, carraige returns, tabs, etc.
When you output such a pice of text as HTML, html only displays one space for a whole string of non-alpha characters.
So the letter "a", 5 spaces, a carraige return, 2 tabs and then the letter "b" would look like this in html:
a b
when it really looks like this:
a_____
b
2 options:
1. use the <pre> tag around the text before you display it.
2. build you own pre tag routine by replaceing all chr(10) with <br>, all chr(9) (tab) with , and all chr(32) (space) with
Does this help?

How can I enter a paragraph from a form (into a DB) with the spacing properties reflecting how it was actually entered, and not all bunched together ?
