xml - textarea newlines

[woostar]

I'm trying to write a xml plugin that requires a textarea with newlines in...

E.G:

<optioncode>textarea</optioncode>
<defaultvalue>
word 1
word 2
word 3
word 4
</defaultvalue>

I've tried \r & \n - what is the correct way of writing it?

Regards,

It's HTML, so a <br />

you cant use html linebreaks in textareas - it just displays <br /> within the box.

you just get:-
word one<br />word two<br />word three
all on one line.

\n would give you the line break

[woostar]

\n would give you the line break

that's what I thought - but when I upload the XML it displays:-
word one\nword two\nword three
in the textarea

crazy :confused:

In the textarea you might not be able to use that. Have you tried just entering the words on a separate line for each one?
