Entry
How do I get JS 1.1's String.split() to use a TEXTAREA's entered VALUE's carriage/line return(s) as a delimitation character?

The short answer is use this as the regular expression:
var re = /\r\n/g
Try the following sample:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>RegExp split() sample</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function button1_onclick() {
var sTextArea = TEXTAREA1.value,
// This is the regular expression to use.
re = /\r\n/g,
aHTMLComments = sTextArea.split(re);
for (x=0; x<aHTMLComments.length; x++)
alert(aHTMLComments[x]);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><TEXTAREA name=TEXTAREA1 style="HEIGHT: 62px; WIDTH:
300px"></TEXTAREA></P>
<P></P>
<P></P>
<INPUT name=button1 type=button value="Click Me" LANGUAGE=javascript
onclick="return button1_onclick()">
</BODY>
</HTML>
