Can I expect line breaks in text boxes to be one of the common line break conventions or does it depend on the user's OS?
i.e.: CR or CR+LF or LF
+3
A:
The HTML 4.01 specification states that line breaks are represented as CR LF pairs.

A:
it depends on the language. usually in .NET you would use
Environment.NewLine
in JavaScript it would be "/n"
in VbScript you could use "vbNewLine"

minor typo: in JS, newline is `\n` not `/n`

I'm aware, thanks, but the language I process it with has no effect on what data the web form sends. I'm also fairly certain that almost all language constants [in this context] are only provided to make source code portable.
