Preserving carriage returns in a label

[burak]

Hello,

 

I have a text area in one panel.

 

The text area contains

 

"Analyze systems

 

Design systems

 

Test systems"

 

I have a label in another panel.

 

<TD vAlign="top" align="left">

<asp:Label id="lblJobDesc"

runat="server"></asp:Label>

</TD>

 

I assign the textarea's value to the label as follows

 

lblJobDesc.Text = txtJobDesc.Value

 

but for some reason, the carriage returns don't

appear and the three rows appear next to each other.

 

How can I show these three distinct rows in a label

control?

 

Thank you,

 

Burak

Carriage returns and line feeds have no significance in HTML. You'll need to convert them to break tags.

Here is my code

 

Dim strJobDesc As String

 

strJobDesc = txtJobDesc.Text

 

Replace(strJobDesc, vbCrLf, "<BR>")

lblJobDesc.Text = strJobDesc

 

as you can see I am trying to replace the carriage return-line feed with "<BR>" but this did not work for me.

 

Did you have any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

u'll need to replace lblJobDesc.Text = txtJobDesc.Value

by

lblJobDesc.Text =

Replace(Trim(txtJobDesc.Value), Chr(13), "<br/>")

Thanks, this worked.
