note 21855 added to function.nl2br

for the br2nl problem, use: (in php) function br2nl($string) { $string = str_replace('<br />|<br/>|<br>', '\r\n', $string); return $string; } (in javascript, header of the document) <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> MyString="<?php print br2nl($YourTextFromDatabase); ?>"; </SCRIPT> and, finally, in the body tag: onLoad="document.formName.NameofTextarea.value=MyString" now, you have the text in your textarea, just the way people entered it! maybe there's a (little) error in the script, but it works fine for me!
