I am using ajax to send the value of a form's textarea with something
like onsubmit=doPreview(this.form.text.value).

This doesn't give the required result as as new lines from the
textarea are lost and I need to retain them. How do I retain the new
lines I am sending to the php script?

Many thanks,

Chris

I don't think so.
Newlines are send to the webserver just fine.

Are you maybe using virtual?
<textarea wrap="virtual">

That will make the browser SHOW word wrap in the textarea box, but will
not send them as content.

PS: The obvious: You are NOT thinking that newlines show up in HTML I
presume. You need <br> for that.
