I'm not sure what you mean.

There is a difference in IE and Firefox. In IE the tags are stripped and in FF the whole text box is stripped.[br /][br /]Is there anyway to change this? I really appreciate the script by the way. Thanks.

You might want to re-check your script. It works fine for me in FF 2.0.0.9
