Editor development: synchronizing code/wysiwyg

I am working on a Dreamweaver like editor
(javascript,php,browser)
The editor should be fully functional in code-view.
(inserting/editing tags, code snippets, etc.)
I am running into this:

exchanging data from wysiwyg to code view

form.value = div.innerHTML;

linebreaks 'n' are lost, or messed up!

Apparently all wysiwyg-editors(like html-area,spaw)
have the same problem.

Anyone out there who has a clue how to keep
the linebreaks the way they were set?

Could you possibly convert all '/n' to '<br>' for the HTML to read it as such?

I agree....if you are doing it in PHP, theres a handy function called nl2br(); for doing just that.

HI!

Thanks for your feedback.
Exchanging line breaks with <br> would mess up the layout,
but putting something like <ln> could substitute all n temporarely.
I guess I'll have a try.

can we see a demo of what you are working on (if it is not a secret)?
