Hi All,

I have a ASP form with a "text area" box so users could paste their resume into. When they do a submit, their data will be inserted into a SQL database. If you r familiar with resumes; they have different sections(ie. Objective, Education, Experience, etc.) separated either by single spaces or double spaces.

The question i have is. When users paste their resumes into this "text area" box, how would I handle the single spaces or double spaces, so that when I retrieve the resume, they will be in the right format as when they were posted? In other words, I want to retrieve a resume from the database and show it on a web page. When I see this resume on the page, i want to be able to see the single spaces or double spaces like when the users have pasted it.

Thank you.

Leon

Hi Leon,

I think I am too late on this(was travelling lastweek). Though by now you would have solved that yourself, still let me post on how to solve that.

Yes, when given hard spaces using keyboard, HTML ignores multiple spaces and shows off just a single space. We can force it to consider all those spaces by replacing " " with " " Hope that helps.
Cheers!
