Hi,

I've got a small test bed here to show this:
http://users.cyberone.com.au/markm/substring/

It seems that when you have linebreaks in a string (i.e. text from a
textfield), the way that IE handles it, and the way Firefox handles it
are completley different.  IE Sees \n as 2 chars, whereas Firefox has
\n as one char..

This seems to be the case for both substr(), and substring().

Has anyone ever encountered this before? and if so, what was your solution?

I actually need IE to look at \n as one character, as that is the way
Java does it, and I am passing a string through a Java service.

We're starting to experiment with using regex's to do it, but this
seems like overkill to me.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Mark
