Ahh, that would be a browser feature as you're talking about the behavior of the textarea in the browser. From the server we don't have any control over what the browser does (and different browsers may act differently), except, of course, with javascript. Perhaps you could write some javascript to get the browser to behave as you want. But remember that some users may have javascript turned off. And CSS isn't going to work in a textarea for linebreaks - well, it may cause the data to display correctly, but it won't alter the submitted data. So the only real solution is to accept the data in whatever format it comes, validate it (and possibly reformat it) on the server before saving to the db. I'd suggest overriding the save method and using the textwrap module to reformat the text before saving. > > > On 2 Feb., 12:25, Kenneth Gonsalves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 02-Feb-07, at 4:26 PM, Simon Brunning wrote: > > > > >> field's value on the server side, post-submittal.
