I am trying to take the value of the textarea field, f1, and add from a select pull down menu = multiple additions are possible.
var x=document.getElementById('selectbox1')
...
document.forms[0].elements['f1'].value = document.forms[0].elements['f1'].value + x.options[x.selectedIndex].text;
I need to a /r/n or something like that but when I try it, it adds "/r/n" rather than a new line.
I am trying to retrieved the value of the textarea with the newline
preserved without having to submit the form to the server. Does anyone
knows how to? I tried soft and hard wrap but both does not seems to
affect the input in anyway.
Example :
<form name=frm>
<textarea name=ta wrap="soft"></textarea>
</form>
<script language=javascript>
alert(document.frm.ta.value) // <-- the alerted value should look
exactly as what is entered in the textbox.
</script>
if I have this inside TD tag.what should I write instead ??? to reproduce new line in textarea.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a textarea field. I want to validate the input from
the textarea using javascript. Suppose I want to check that the user

World"
