Hi,
I am building a small CMS for my son's school. Ideally I want to build
the system for them and hand it over so that all updates can be done
through web-based forms.
So far so good. However I'm having a problem with fields designed to
take multi-paragraph stories or articles. I'm using a text area field
on the form which saves the data in a memo field in the database.
Teachers would typically cut and paste stories from word documents into
the text area field.
However when the data is loaded back into the website from the database
all the carriage returns have been removed and the story consists of
one long paragraph.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for working around this problem and
preserving paragraph breaks.
Thanks in advance.
