I am trying to make a similar bit of code like at the bottom

  • 0

I am trying to make a similar bit of code like at the bottom of this page to leave a comment. I have the basic code but the output does not register new lines (or HTML, but that isn’t important). I have the function below called on key-up on the text field. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here is the whole page (Now working)

<html>
<body>

<form>
    <textarea id="text" onkeyup="outputText()"></textarea>
</form>

<div id="outputtext" style="width:500px;">
</div>

</body>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function outputText()
    {
        var text = document.getElementById('text').innerHTML;
        document.getElementById('outputtext').innerHTML = (text + '').replace(/([^>\r\n]?)(\r\n|\n\r|\r|\n)/g, '$1<br>$2');
    }
</script>

</html>
