In Internet Explorer, the Textarea fails to display new lines

It appears that when text is placed into a textarea, IE ignores \r\n while FF/Chrome/Opera do not. Here's how the rendering differs:

Paragraph1 sometext
Paragraph2 othertext

In IE7/8, however, it renders as:

Paragraph1 sometextParagraph2 othertext

I have attempted to adjust the "new-line" CSS parameter with no success. Any thoughts on what may be causing this issue?

On the backend, I am using asp.net which assigns the text to the textarea. Though, I don't think this is relevant.

UPDATE: It seems that asp.net is rendering asp:TextArea differently in various browsers - specifically, IE ignoring newline characters. When I switch from asp:TextBox to textarea, the issue is resolved. Any suggestions for fixing this?

Answer №1

Remember, a newline character is represented as \r\n, not \n\r. Understanding this distinction is crucial for proper formatting.

Answer №2

The textbox displaying "MultiLine" within the "TextMode" setting is not causing any issues...

Answer №3

Encountered a similar problem with setting the width for a TextBox marked as TextMode="MultiLine," which led to unexpected behavior. Resolved it by manually defining the Rows and Columns properties of the textbox.

Answer №4

After some investigation, I realized that the issue isn't with the textarea as I initially thought. It's actually related to how I handle escaping output and unescaping input. To address this, I will post a new question specifically focused on resolving this problem.
