<< Back to FAQ page In edit mode, when the Enter key is pressed:

 Internet Explorer inserts: <p> </p>
 Mozilla/Firefox inserts: <br />

When shift-Enter is pressed:

both Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox insert: <br />

htmlArea is trying to compensate for these different behaviors:

 htmlArea intercepts the Mozilla/Firefox Enter key event
 htmlArea wraps the br tag in a pair of p tags: <p><br /></p>
 on submit or on toggle to textmode, htmlArea strips the br tag.
