New Lines In Text Areas

[mjjk91]

G'Day All,

A Small question. Probably really easy to answer, but one i am curious about. Its more of a html/javascript question i believe. Anyways. The issue i am having is that when users are typing text into a textarea, and they then hit the enter key to represent a new line, when the message is processed and displayed on-screen, instead of viewing that new line that the user entered, the output is all jammed together, that is, the new line is not displayed. Any ideas why this would be? Is there a condition i need to set with my textarea to avoid this from happening, or do i need to implement some code to fix this?

Thanks all
