ASP- Text formatting from database

[Wydok]

Remember that a carriage return in text does not translate to a carriage return in HTML. You either have to replace them with <br>'s, as someone metioned earlier, or you have to use the
<pre> tag for preformatted text.

Response.write Replace(Recordset.Fields.item("message").value, vbCrLf, "<br>")
 
or . . .
     Response.write "<pre>" & Recordset.Fields.item("message").value & "</pre>"
