 and aren't working; still everything is on one line.

I haven't found an answer to this question amongst other questions that solves my problem. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I don't actually think you can have line breaks for those types of form elements. You may have to use a <textarea> tag which allows for literal line breaks:

<textarea id="multiliner" name="multiliner">line1
line2
line3</textarea>
