Yeah, I know I can do this but then I lose all the formatting. I want to send the data back to a DB via a webservice so that I can then retrieve it in the future. I believe that to do this I need to 'escape' some of the characters in the HTML I retrieve from the textArea. Thinking about it, it may just be the '<' and '>' that I need to 'escape' in which case of course it's simple. My initial instincts were that it might be more involved than that but perhaps not!
