dkirk Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a form that allows users to enter notes into a large textbox. After the form is submitted, the contents of the textbox are echoed out into a report. Below is an example of an entry: These are my notes. These notes doe not make any sense but it gets the point across. When I echo out this entry as a variable, the entry looks like this: These are my notes. These notes doe not make any sense but it gets the point across. I need to keep all of the notes just as they were entered on multiple lines. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
