I need to allow the user to enter details via a text area field and then display the info on another page as text but I dont want to loose the spaces.

All I get is a constant string of characters with no return characters.

How do I do this?

<% Response.write(The best line of code you can ever use"%>

I got the following error when I tried that:

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0414'

Cannot use parentheses when calling a Sub

/mis/tests/display_text.asp, line 62

Response.Write(strtext, VbCrLf, "&lt;br /&gt;"

Try:

&lt;%= Replace(RecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourDBfieldName".Value, VbCrLf, "&lt;BR&gt;" %&gt;

OR

&lt;%= Replace(Request("YourTextAreaName", VbCrLf, "&lt;BR&gt;" %&gt;
