how to detect <enter> in textarea??
how to detect or in textarea??
when user press enter, it will brings the user to a new line but when i save into the database, it will save as if it's a new sentence instead of having all the newlines.
what can i do in order to save exactly wat user types in the textarea to the database, so when i retrieve it out, it will be exactly the same as wat user types???

What language are you using? You'll want to search for \n, and replace with .
ASP: Replace(strMyString, vbCrLf, "")
PERL: $string =~ s/\n//g;
PHP: nl2br($my_string)

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

replace \r and/or \n and/or a combination of \r and \n with . You should be able to search and replace items in a string even with JavaScript, but it's easier with Server Side scripting.

You would search and replace the bad characters in the string on the way into the database -- which brings us back to Mark's question: what language are you using to talk to your database?
