transmitting line breaks to textarea

[Anon]

I am using web pages to search a LDAP database of employees and display their details, but only the first occurence of an attribute.

I am now wanting to use these pages to be able to change the details.

I require that all details be on the web page including all occurrences of an attribute.
for example all users have 2 email addresses.

I am using a textarea to store these details as I am unable to edit the information if it is output to a select field.
When I send the data the ì lines are concatinated
ie. [e-mail]@cca.cz. I have tried using "<br>" <p> these only get added to the entry ie. [e-mail]<br>[e-mail].
If I use wrap I can do it using the exact number of columns, but the length of these entries can differ with every user.

I have looked for an answer, but Can't find how to do it.

Can you please help me.

Thanks

Tony

Hi! As far as I know, <TEXTAREA> value works like <PRE>... so, what you need to do to break the lines is to replace <BR> with a newline (\n).

So, the line:
[e-mail]<br>[e-mail]

now it\'ll look like this:
[e-mail]\[e-mail]
