Special char problem with macs

[kuma_24]

Some of our clients vendors are entering information in textarea boxes which reside inside a form.

<textarea name="t_ProductDesc" rows="12" cols="92" wrap="virtual" color="#003300">

            		<xsl:value-of select="$default-record/fmrs:field[@name ='t_ProductDesc']/fmrs:data"/>

</textarea>

These vendors are entering data using Macs and our clients are viewing the information in Filemaker on PCs. When the vendors enter a "return" and submit the form it shows up as a square in the field on a PC when you look at it in Filemaker.

I have already tried wrapping the above in a fmxslt:url_decode but because it is in a textbox it does not work like it would if it were in a straight input statement. Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick

Looks like classic Mac/Unix/DOS linebreak problem. Can probably solved with some JavaScript, that filters/transforms the carriage returns before the form is submitted.

Do a Google search on "textarea javascript carriage return".
