<body>
<textarea rows=3 cols=100>\nthis is a test\nthis is a test
</textarea>
</body>
</html>

Now the test appears as "\nthis is a test\nthis is a test". I want the text to appear as

this is a test
this is a test.

Can anyone tell me how to handle this? This text comes from a program and hence I cant manually "enter" from my keyboard. But yes, I can do anything to programatically to achieve the same.

Thanks
Sripathi

U can match the "\n" (newline) and replace them with <br/>

it wont work. It will come as this is a test <br/>.I figured the solution for this. Use html entity. &#010; instead of \n.
I tried it and it works.

Cheers
