Need Help

[CannyCool]

Hi,i have a website but having some problems here  :'(

 

this is the link to my site : http://www.mycars.com.my/Auto/display_listing/508/1997_Perodua_Kancil.html

 

kindly look at the "Description" whereby i have problem spacing the sentences,i wish to put them into few lines but i failed even after hitting the "enter" button for few times,it doesn't seem to work.

 

any idea?

Have you tried adjusting the width of the table row? Failing that you could always use a <br> tag at where you want the line to end.

I'm assuming you entered the text for that description in a textarea? text areas use newline characters to denote when you go to the next line (the character: \n)

 

luckily, php has a function, nl2br which converts newlines to their html equivalent (line breaks, or the <br /> tag)
