Re: Form Textarea question

This is it.  <textarea name="comment" cols="60" rows="5"
wrap="HARD"></textarea>  The value of the textarea gets written to a mysql
file as part of a guestbook. I'm using PHP to write to mysql.

It is then taken from mysql and displayed on another page.

If I type - the<br>small<br>cat in the textarea, you will get the expected
results, but I don't want users to have to use any html tags when they are
typing a message.

TIA
