    Hi,

    I need to insert some text into form in textarea field, i need to insert something like that:

    Hello,
    My name
    blab bla

    but everything needs to be inserted in one line, so it should look like

    Hello,<br>My name<br>

    or

    Hello,\nMy name\n

    None of them are working, in first case browser doesnt recognize <br> tag and send it the same way to script, in second case \n replaced with \\n and send to form.

    Please suggest what other options i have to insert paragraphs in one line.

    Are you trying to use the form or are you the programmer?

    I normally get people to enter in what they want and then when I show it on a page or insert into an html email I use nl2br()

    From where and what language are you trying to output it? PHP? Are you manipulating it from JS? Some other language?
