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

It is actually Firefox that creates the problem. I just tested it and IE is OK with the following random string. IE reports 400 chars and Firefox reports more, so it must be what Steve says and it uses \n\n for new lines.

IE says the length is 2 but FireFox says its 1. You can also see the char

It actually depends on the browser. For example, in IE a return is \n\n
where in FireFox a return is \n so you get a different in length. In
Coldfusion a line break will be different also. I think thats where your
getting your lengths screwing up.

[cfaussie] Re: CF reports different length than JS
Ok you have a number of options, in this case you could create a dive and use DHMTL to place the string into the div then use the inspect to view the data inside the div. I use dojo and it has a brilliant debug option which not only shows the string but it as an object, which shows \n\n\n String text \n\n more text But I can't answer 100% sure if doing this and going to the dom would be sufficient enough. You could try console.log(string); never used it but you it might have options to view more details about the string or object in question. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.
