Not sure if you ever solved this problem or not but Ive done similar types
of apps that involve forcing line breaks into formatted form results from
textarea's. Ill grab a snippet or 2.
<CF_Snippet>
<cfset break="#code#">
<!--- Replace all line breaks with <br /> so the message is formatted
correctly. --->
<cfset break=ReplaceNoCase(break, chr(10), "<br />", "All")>
<!--- If users has put 5 cariage returns in a row, remove them --->
<cfset break=ReplaceNoCase(break,"<br />" & chr(13) & "<br />" & chr(13) &
"<br />" & chr(13),"","All")>
</CF_Snippet>
There #code# would be the value from the textarea. As Dylan Bromby suggests
in this last email message by him, you will want to use virtual wrap
"<TEXTAREA WRAP="Virtual">".
Note that this only adds the appropriate line breaks to a message that is
going to be inserted into a database. For email messages you probably wont
be able to use this technique but something similar might work. Hopefully
this lil' code snippet will get you on the right track.
HTH,
Mike
