I understand that Unix and Mac each use one or other of Chr(13) and Chr(10) for newlines in ASCII text, and that Windows uses *both* in conjunction.
I'm basically trying to parse some text input through a textarea, and I'm wondering a couple of things: 1. If Windows uses Chr(13)&Chr(10) for a new line, why does only one 'hidden character' show up for new lines if you turn this feature on in a Windows text editor?! Does all Windows software read this combination of ASCII codes as "one" character? If you're checking the length of a textarea input, does each new line add two bytes, or what?! 2. If I'm coding all this for a CF app, does it make a difference to the server-side code if the user uses a Mac to use the site and input text? What if the server's Unix? 3. How many people have gone totally insane trying to figure out the answers to these questions?! ;) cheers, - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
