If I am reading this right, you just want the text to appear as 'normal' html would, but not ignoring the white space line breaks as html does. I have done this by replacing line breaks in the text with <br>, then just enclose the text in <p></p> instead of <pre></pre>
>>> "Dina Hess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/19/02 01:41PM >>> Hi all, Sorry for the OT post, but I'm hoping one of you can put an end to my ongoing headache with textareas. First off, I'm not working in ColdFusion on this one...it's ASP...and I've already checked Google and the CF-Talk archives. Here's what I'm trying to do: 1) maintain linefeeds/carriage returns, 2) maintain stylesheet formatting, and 3) maintain virtual wrapping. If I use <pre> to preserve linefeeds and carriage returns, I always lose virutal wrapping and the font-family setting in the textarea style. So far, the *best* solution I've discovered can preserve stylesheet formatting and virtual wrapping but does not keep linefeeds/carriage returns intact. Can someone please help me out? I'm open to any and all suggestions. TYIA, Dina ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
