hi,

my code is -->

<textarea class = "ipfield" rows="2" cols="80" name = "ruleDesc" id = "ruleDesc" onchange="setIsEdited()"><c:out value="${ruleDesc}" escapeXml="false"/></textarea>

on click of cancel it should be reseated to previously present in ModelAnd View(MAV) object

code is     document.getElementById('ruleDesc').value = '<c:out value="${ruleDesc}"  escapeXml="false"/>';

but m getting javascript error while setting tht one

i view tht source in IE.

that is because of
it looks like ->
document.getElementById('ruleDesc').value = 'this is the data from database
ok ?'

if there is \n in database it will go to next line because of that  ' after document.getElementById('ruleDesc').value is not completed

can u please help me about that problem.

thanx in advance.
