IE 7 represents a newline as chr(13)&chr(10) - 2 bytes
and
FF 2 as chr(10) - 1 byte

Using the above data
IE gives: 40 chars + 4 Newlines * (2 chars) = 48 chars
FF gives: 40 chars + 4 Newlines * (1 char) = 44 chars
so all we need to do is remove the chr(13) from the string using the
following js
var text = document.getElementById('test').value;
newText = text.replace(/\n/g,'');
if you don't want to count the newlines at all then
newtext = text.replace(/\r|\n/g,'');
which will report 40 chars in IE and FF
Cheers,
Pete
