Hello Everyone,

I'm still learning DBI, so please dont hit me too hard. ;)

I've noticed, when capturing form input in multiline text boxes, the format=
(particularly line breaks) is getting lost. Is there a way to preserve suc=
h things as line breaks?

Thanks,

quint

DBI has no multi-line text boxes (or any other sort of text box, come to
that), so I think you are probably asking the question in the wrong forum.
It sounds like you might be writing CGI scripts or something similar to
collect input from a browser. If so, you should ask in a more general Perl
forum - such as one of the comp.lang.perl.* news groups.

Alternatively, show the DBI code that is giving problems...but we will not
be very interested in debugging the supporting CGI-related bits'n'pieces
(which is where it sounds as if your problem is).

OK so far.

Now you're talking CGI. Do you realize that?

You probably want to:

o Switch to another mailing list

o Use the 'wrap' option on your text boxes
