Thank you all for your help.

For the record, this behaviour happened when using Internet Explorer for Mac, but on Windows IE too.

What I should really do is test out a few browsers and see what happens. Maybe if I get the time.

The regex with the /r being optional will be very useful, plus the idea about locally setting $\ and $/, and I'd completely forgotten about the WRAP options with TEXTAREA boxes, I'll also investigate that.

Thanks again.
