You need to explain what you mean by "in the same format". When text is input into a TextArea it is usually
represented on the screen by some LayoutManager. Change the window size - the "format" changes to accomodate that.
What formatting is NOT being saved?
Do you really mean that you just want to insure that any New Line or Carriage Returns are preserved, like Frank thought?
Are you trying to retain the FONT of the input?
Is this really a
JAVA or
JSP TextArea, or are you talking about an HTML (JavaScript) TextArea?
