line breaks

Perhaps someone has had this problem before...

My db table has a Notes field, which consists of notes entered by the user.
Obviously, the user didn't type straight in...but used line breaks for readability.

Now, the db stores the information like that, with the line breaks.

However, when I pull it out to display it in another textarea, I get an error.


Is it possible to pull this information out and display it as it was once entered...with the line breaks.
If so, how?


Thanks.

First, do a search. This has been covered in some languages already. Second, what language are you using? Third, what's the error? Please provide as much information as possible as concisely as possible when posting so that people can help you with minimum expended effort and time.

1. I did a search here for 'line break' and came up with nothing helpful.

2. Coldfusion, Access database, Javascript

3. The error varies...expected '/', expected ';', or expected ')'



I can parent.framename.document.formname.fieldname.value = 'blah \n blah';
and get the proper results.

The problem I think is with how Coldfusion returns it. So I guess I will try to find a coldfusion forum to hit up.

Thanks
Shawn.
