$.ajax({

type: "GET",

url: ".././backend_php/management_php/createQuiz.php",

            data: "quizname="+test

........... more code ....

 

 

i get the textarea text using javascript stored into a variable called test.

when i alert the content in variable test.

the newline character still inside

 

However, when i passed the variable through GET (ie. "createQuiz.php?quizname= "+test

the newline character disappear when i insert into database.

because the address bar itself cannot have newline characters it is stripping them out... one vital flaw with GET... if you were to send via post, you probably wouldnt have this issue...
