Replacing “enter” key with “< br>” tag in Coldfusion
October 6, 2009 Category :ColdFusion| Web Devlopment 0
If you use PHP you know how easy is the workaround for this problem, you just need to use the nl2br function. In ColdFusion is a little bit different, they don’t have a specific function for that, so here is the workaround for it:
When grabbing the text from the database, instead just printing like this:
<cfoutput> #form.comments# </cfouput>
You can use this function to solve this problem:
<cfoutput> #replace(form.comments,Chr(13),"<br>", "all")# </cfouput>
