Hi,
I have the textarea field where user enters any format in. Sometime they copy text from MS and pasted into it with paragraph or tab to center, ect. I now ouput this field but the user's inout is not accurately rendered. All carriage returns page, tabs are lost. I've tried #paragraphFormat(desc)# but it only displayed in paragraph format . i used pre tag with all wrap attributes but it didn't wrap the text. Can anyone helps?
for example: if i entered this format into the text area box:
Hello world
this is tetsing one
this is testing two
I want it to be displayed as it on the page.
Thanks

Pasting from Word will mean a lot of Word "junk" will go along with the text which impacts its display when viewed on a web page. You're probably better off using a text editor that includes a text formatting toolbar so the user can style the text directly on the form using valid HTML that will give predictable results.
