Hello, Basically i am having a little problem displaying a newline within a textarea. The contents of the text area are grabbed from a database, which have already previously converted all newlines to <br> tags, as i would like to use it within a html page. But i also want to offer a user the chance to edit this data via the use of a textarea. Now the problem is i would like the textarea to display the content in the same way it does on a html document, So i decided to replace <br> with \n once again, and then post the content within the <textarea>...</textarea> tags. But I seem to be getting "content with a \n instead of actually showing the newline itself". How would i overcome this??
