just using dreamweaver here, wanted to know if anyone could help me
here, basically I am writing an ASP application a news poster to be
precise and I have it all working the only problem is.

When i enter text into the text area, any carriage returns or new lines
i create by pressing the "ENTER" key do not show up in the post that
comes from the database, so to make this as simple as possible.

I have decided to include a standard form button that will create a new
line or a <br> or <p> in html and basically when the button is pressed
the <p> will appear in the text box, can this be done and if so can
someone please please please tell me how!!

if theres a nicer way or a way of it happening automatically without
the need for this button feature then please let me know.

Cheers

Chris
