I have a form with a <textarea></textarea> to receive user input. This input is then stored in a database and sent by fax... I need to be able to remove the carriage returns (enter key... vbcrlf...) from the input so that somebody doesn't do something like fill the textarea with 100s of keypresses of the enter key and end up spitting out tonnes of
blank pages on the fax machine.
I have a text box that a user is allowed to enter what ever text they wish. I then take the text store it in a Database, and at a later time print it in a document. All that part I have done.
The problem I'm having is I have a client that hits return at the end of their last sentance. When this prints on the document, it sometimes causes an extra blank page to be produced to account for the last carriage return, depending on how much text they have entered.
What I'm looking to do is take out any whitespace or un-needed carriage returns at the end of the string.
If I want to remove x-amount of trailing carriage returns from a string in ASP (ie, someone has entered text into a text area and left a few carriage returns) - what's the easiest way to do this?
Trim() only removes white space
Also, I don't want to remove carriage returns within the main body of submitted text.
Any ideas if there's an easy way to do this?
how I can keep the formatting (carriage returns) that the user enters into a memo field and then display that later. I figured I might be able to use:
'replace carriage returns with BRs
comment=Replace(comment, chr(13), "<br>")
but obviously net.!
The <pre> tag doesn't sem to help either as the embedded return is lost by the time you get past Request.Form

View Replies View RelatedIs there a way to detect if the user has placed two returns in a form field for example as below:- This is a short paragraph This is the second paragraph
And automatically add the surrounding <p></p> tags on inserting this into the database. Same with the edit of pages. Rather than showing the <p></p> in the form is there a way to just apply the paragraphs for the user to visually see thus preventing code in the form window?

I am performing a post from one classic ASP page to another in order to get the value of a string passed between the two pages. I have a client script variable declared to take the value of the value being received in the page i.e. var x = '<%=varName%>'. Unfortunately, ASP seems to be adding a carriage return to the value of varName when it
is passed in i.e. it expands the stated line to var x = 'FieldContents';. I.e. somewhere a carriage return has been added. The string gets passed in OK if I use the Get mechanism. Don't know why this carriage return is being added when using Post mechanism. Anybody seen this before? Is it a bug in ASP ?
