How to get rid of break tag in both data.txt and when modify

I am new to cgi, Thank you for your help.

Do you by any chance have a break tag within your html_record_form when defining your textarea field?

There has to be someplace where you are adding this code within the form definition.

An example of what might cause this would be to have something like this:
<TEXTAREA NAME="Comments" ROWS="7" COLS="50" WRAP="VIRTUAL" MAXLENGTH="1000">$rec{'Comments'}<BR></TEXTAREA>

Normally to create automatic line breaks, which wouldn't get stored in your .db file would be to use:

$rec{'texarea_field_name'} =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;

at the top of either html_record or html_record_long

Hope this helps

Check your *html.pl file for the following code:
$rec{'Name of your field'} =~ s//<BR>/g;

If found, try deleting it (make a copy of the file first -- just in case) and see if that does the trick.

no, i dont have that code on html,but
$rec{'Info'} =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;

at sub html_record ,sub html_record_long
