RE: [cfaussie] textareas the returns
Could be. I'll note that I created a textareaformat CF custom tag and UDF for just such challenges as Brian brought up. I created it over 10 years ago but it's still used by many having this need.

RE: [cfaussie] textareas the returns
Also depends on the browser and operating system as some use \r and others
use \n for the new line characters.
The thing with using pre is that you don't have any control over the
spacing as you would with your p tags.
If it is just output you want, then yeah sure, pre will output it with the
breaks intact. If you need to have it continue with the flow and style of
the page then you will need to break it out into p blocks.
Otherwise you can try something like this
function pFormat(string) {
// (\n\r) for intenet explorer
// (\n\n) for mozilla
var output = REReplaceNoCase(string, (\n\r)|(\n\n), \pp,
ALL);
output = REReplaceNoCase(output, (\n), br /, ALL);
return p#output#/p;
}
