extra blank lines appear when rendering <textarea> from xslt

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

Now I have an xsl that generates an html page that allows the user to edit a <textarea>. If he types in this:

frog[cr]toad

(i.e. presses the enter key between the two words) and posts it to the server (ie 6 on winxp) the request value comes out as frog[cr][lf]toad, which seems fair enough.

Next time round I want to display the value so he can edit it. my stylesheet looks like this:

<textarea><xsl:value-of select="@value" /><textarea>

After processing it with xalan 2.4.1, the html looks like this

<textarea>frog
