new lines in texarea

[Baxter337]

I am trying to pass a php variable that i get from a mysql text field
to a javascript function, but that text field has newlines in it.


<a href="#top"
onclick="closeit('my_docs');closeit('uploadLink');showit('docUpdate');setup_update_form('<?=$docrow[0]?>',
'<?=$docrow[2]?>', '<?=str_replace("\n", "", $docrow[3])?>')"><img
src="images/update.gif" width="90" height="60" border="0"></a></td>

when it turns to html i get somethign like this for setup_update_form
call:

setup_update_form('81', '(ttest)bottle.bmp', 'test line 1
test line 2
test line 3
test line 4')"><img src="images/update.gif" width="90" height="60"
border="0"></a></td>

this obviously doesnt work.

as you can see i have tried multiple string parsing function with no
success.

I dont know if this matters or not but the form that is getting
submitted to the mysql database has enctype="multipart/form-data"

Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!

Make sure that PHP processor converts all new lines in text data into
"\n" string and insert it only after that. One more time: not \n escape
sequence but back slash - n charachter sequence: "\n"

Not a JavaScript problem really.
