The HTML <textarea> tag applies whitespace, meaning that if you put a carriage return inside it, the carriage return will appear in the textbox--unlike HTML, which ignores whitespace (other than a single space character). So if you want something like this in a textbox:

line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4

use this in your HTML coding:

HTML

<textarea>line1
line2
line3
line4</textarea>

rather than:

HTML

<textarea>line1<br/>line2<br/>line3<br/>line4<br/></textarea>
