Textarea carriage return line feed

[ajmPal]

I have a form that includes a text area

{xtype: 'textarea', id: 'queryTerms', fieldLabel: 'Query Terms', width: 200, height: 200, labelStyle: ''width: 120px;', stateful: true}

When I retrieve the data from the textarea in javascript:

var queryTerms = document.getelementById("queryTerms").value

I get multiple lines including carriage return /n and line feed /r

When I try to get the same value using the Form in Struts, I only get the first line of data
Any suggestions ?

What do you see if you use getValue()?

I see the same values using getValue()

var queryTerms = Ext.getCmp("queryTerms").getValue()
or
var queryTerms = document.getelementById("queryTerms").value

In javacsript, I can see all carriage returns and data.

In struts, I get the data from the request. I only see the first line of data in the request, anything after the carriage return doesn't come through.

Are you encoding the string?

How would I encode it ?
