That worked, Ricardo...to a point.
(Haven't tried your solution, Charlie...)
I actually just embedded the replace function in the code like this:
out.push('<div id="sectionTextDIV">' + row[4].replace(/\r?\n/, '<br/>') +
'</div>');
and that worked, but only for the first line break in the text.
I tried adding 'all', like I do when I use the replace function in CFML,
but it had no effect.
...'<br/>', 'all') + '</div>');
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Rick
