You would search and replace the bad characters in the string on the way into the database -- which brings us back to Mark's question: what language are you using to talk to your database?

replace \r and/or \n and/or a combination of \r and \n with . You should be able to search and replace items in a string even with JavaScript, but it's easier with Server Side scripting.

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function detectKey() {
    if (event.keyCode==13) {alert ("<br>")
 }

&lt;/script&gt;

but instead of alert, i want to insert in the textarea. how am i suppose to do tat??

What language are you using? You'll want to search for \n, and replace with .

ASP: Replace(strMyString, vbCrLf, "")
PERL: $string =~ s/\n//g;
PHP: nl2br($my_string)
