In the before update and before insert event (for the textarea), place the following code.
Dim sResult
sResult = RecordName.TextAreaFieldName.Value
sResult = Replace(sResult, vbCRLF, "<br>")
Testing For Chr(13) only looks for the Carriage Return... not the line feed as well. So you need to perform the replace on the combination of the two - or vbCRLF.
Chr(13) + Chr(10) Carriage return–linefeed combination

this works totally fine for me :
// break line
$text = eregi_replace("\n","<br>",$text);

The problem is, you cannot insert the line breaks in VBScript, I know because I have been messing with the problem for awhile and gave up on it after awhile after trying everything. I was told to come back and fix the problem and finally I was able to, but not through vbscript, through javascript. You need to create a javascript function to insert the line break, and then run that function from the vbscript. So in javascript lets say you have a textarea box named TextareaText. You could then run the following javascript to grab the current value of the textarea and append the line break to the end:
document.all('TextareaText').value = document.all('TextareaText').value + '\n';
If you want to run this from vbscript put it in a function and just call the function name from within vbscript to execute a line break, for instance if the javascript function is named TextareaLineBreak and you wanted to insert a line break after the current text in the textarea box, then insert new text you could simply put the following in your vbscript:
document.body.all("TextareaText").value = TextareaLineBreak() + 'this text will appear on a new line'
I just tested this and it works fine

Quote Solster:
It works when you replace with "\n" in double quotes, and doesn't work in single quotes. Donno why.
<textarea name="Address" rows="5" cols="35"><?php echo str_replace('<br>', "\n", $myrow["Address"]); ?></textarea>
Amazingly, the double quotes was the trick in PHP. Thanks.

In php (and other I suppose) the single quote mark ( 'text' ) prints out the exact text inside the quote. so if you want to replace <br> with a line break you should NOT do something like this:
$whatever = str_replace('<br>', '\n', $text)
cuz if will infact be puting \\n into the text ( \\ beeing the special char to print \ and then adding the n)
This however would work and put a line break for each <br>:
$whatever = str_replace("<br>", "\n", $text)
And thx everybody.. this discussion really helped me :)

in php you can do this:
echo str_replace("<br />", chr(13), "blah <br /> blah");
//output
blah
blah

Programming text into the Textarea I was having the same problems with \n returning just n, \n\n returning nn, and <br> displaying as <br>.
After trying the double slashes it worked. ie \\n
Cheers
