Hi, I have a <textarea> when submitted creates a new form with the textarea data in a hidden field: <input name="DPRnarration" type="text" hidden form="DPRform" value="Enter call narration here."> But when this new form gets resubmitted, the \n get stripped? <input name="DPRnarration" type="text" hidden form="DPRform" value="Enter callnarration here."> I don't get it. There is nothing in my code that is stripping the \n? <input name="DPRnarration" type="text" hidden form="DPRform" value="<?php echo stripslashes($_POST["DPRnarration"]);?>"> Do I need to put it in another textarea and declare it hidden?

Here is a quote: If the element is mutable, its value should be editable by the user. User agents must not allow users to insert "LF" (U+000A) or "CR" (U+000D) characters into the element's value. I found it on this page: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#text-%28type=text%29-state-and-search-state-%28type=search%29 Does that explain why your example doesn't work? -- Jim Lucas http://www.cmsws.com/ http://www.cmsws.com/examples/
