I am using a textarea input field in my database,  I fixed the formatting issue for when the user presses enter with this:

 

'    Response.write Replace(rsGuestbook("jobdesc"),Chr(13) & Chr   '(10),"<br>")

My problem is when your typing a single sentence,  if the user never presses enter it comes out one long line across the page.  But with textarea when your typing it automatically wraps the words to the next line.  Is there anyway to display this formatting when reading from the database. Thanks for any help

No,  I use a text area then send the text to an access database using a form.  When I call the text back to display it if the user doesnt hit enter the text never breaks it goes in one straight line.  I wanted to keep the formatting or make it wrap around somehow.  thanks tho

you need to put that text into a table/table-cell to restrict the width it can be in..

because there is no magic "format this output" functin available because people could have different screen resolutions, different fonts and sizes, etc
