We used a replace in the SQL select with Replace(fieldname,char(13),'<BR>) as fieldname
which makes it display fine, but then if you edit the line, you will get a code injection message when it posts.

Rado,

Thanks for your reply.  While the above does work, and do what you say, it does not work 100% for our situation.

We are using the CR/LF to parse and split strings.  A user may enter the following text:

Click It

Or

Ticket

While the data grid would show the following:

Click It Or

Ticket

This is an issue the datagrid does not support a true CR/LF, if you examine the text it actually is one single line, just word wrapped.  Why does the datagrid not support a CR/LF? 

Can I replace the CR/LF ( or char(13) or "\n") into something compatible with your datagrid?

function Button1_onclick() {
          var val =  $get('<%=TextBox1.ClientID %>').value;
          val = val.replace(/\n/g, "working CR/LF");
          var grid = $find('<%=WebDataGrid1.ClientID %>');
          var row = grid.get_rows().get_row(0).get_cell(1).set_text(val);
        }

thanks

Hello,

I did try this:

     function Button1_onclick() {
          var val =  $get('<%=TextBox1.ClientID %>').value;
          var grid = $find('<%=WebDataGrid1.ClientID %>');
          var row = grid.get_rows().get_row(0).get_cell(1).set_text(val);
        }

Attached to a button.

If the text is longer that the width of the cell it will be automatically transferred to next row in the grid cell.

Thanks.

Currently we have this setup

WebDataGrid -- bound to object data source

TextBox -- Multi-Line enabled, supports carriage return/ line feed

Button -- on button pressed javascript updates webdatagrid cells, then performes postback on datagrid that is inside an update pannel.

---------------------------------------------------

In javascript we have something like this:

selectedRow.get_cell(i).set_value(

'<%= wte_message.ClientID %>').value);

After cell updates, all carriage return/line feed are gone.  We need the CR/LF.

Thanks
