Multiline text box shows html

[Anthony Pri]

I have a  <textarea style="width: 241px; height: 83px;" col="180px" rows="3" ng-attr-id="{{ 'object-' + q.FileID }}"  ng-model="q.answer">

when i submit the text box with breaks or paragraphs i replace the \n with br tag.  when i go back and prefill the information from the database. the textbox shows the br tag

example.

Hi Anthony,

A textarea will show you what you put in. There is no HTML parsing in there. So if you put in the text <br> that is exactly what you get.

So this is impossible.

Hi Anthony,

No, in our business virtually nothing is impossible :)

If you get your data back from your DB, you need to do the reverse, (exchange every `<br>` with an `\n` with an regex)

That way you can keep using your textarea. If you need a full-blown texteditor, Robert has linked in one, but there are many of those.
