ok thanks! i looked on the textwrapper api, but i didn't find a function to replace the line breaks which are set by browser... there are difference in line breaks between the browser? if there are - there will be never a solution given to solve this problem by setting \n for line breaks which set in textareas...is that right?
If there are a function to set \n for textarea linebreaks, it would be great!
