value input into FCK

wouldn't str_replace modify the data?

In my view, you never want to modify the original value, the end user may want those carriage returns.

Here is how I fixed this. I did a str_replace like operation, but I tried to be as clean as possible.

I replaced all carriage returns with \n
I replaced all quotes (") with \"

The server side javascript was:

outString = inString.replace(/\"/g,"\\\""); // replace " with \"
outString = outString.replace (/\n/g,"\\n");// replace carriage return with \n

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to prepopulate the editor with a variable like so:

oFCKeditor.Value = "<?php echo $SomeVariable ?>" ;

This works fine without if the variable doesn't have any line breaks in its value, but as soon as you add newlines, not only will it not display the text, but the FCKeditor window doesn't even show up anymore.

Does anyone know any workarounds for this?

I have done this:

<TABLE width=80% border=0 cellpadding=2>
<FORM method=POST enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<INPUT type=hidden name=mode value="update">

<? if ($header_content_result) {
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($header_content_result)) {
?>

<INPUT type=hidden name=header_content_id value="<? echo $row["header_content_id"]; ?>">

<TR>
<TD bgcolor=DDDDDD><b>Content Name : </b></TD>

    <TD bgcolor=EEEEEE><INPUT type=text size=24 name=header_content_name value="<? echo $row["header_content_name"]; ?>"></TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD bgcolor=DDDDDD valign=top><b>Content : </b></TD>
<TD bgcolor=EEEEEE>

    <?php
    function prepTextForEditor($in) 
    { 
    $out = str_replace(chr(10), "", $in);  
    $out = str_replace(chr(13), "", $out); 
    return str_replace("'", "\'", $out); 
    } 

     $strTEXT = $row["header_content"];
    ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'header_content' ) ;
oFCKeditor.Height = 300 ; // 400 pixels
oFCKeditor.Width = "100%" ; // 250 pixels

       oFCKeditor.Value =  "<?php echo prepTextForEditor($strTEXT);?>" ;

oFCKeditor.Create() ;
</script>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD bgcolor=DDDDDD valign=top><b>Active : </b></TD>

     <TD bgcolor=EEEEEE><INPUT type=checkbox name=header_content_active value="Y"<? if ($row["header_content_active"] == "Y") echo " checked"; ?>></TD>

</TR>
<TR>
<TD colspan=2><INPUT type=submit value="Update Content">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT type=button value="Cancel" onClick="self.location='header_content.php'"></TD>
</TR>
</FORM>

<?
   }
  }
?>

</TABLE>
