Ah, an *HTML question. You get it the way it was in the TEXTAREA. The user agent might have word wrapped it, but that's something you'll have to do too when you present it. If you really want it to look just like the user saw it (although there are of course no guarantees that in will look _good_), look at the non-standard WRAP attribute to the TEXTAREA tag. WRAP=hard outght to work in most browsers. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
