How can I filter out line breaks from a TEXTAREA before submitting?

Martin Honnen,
With JavaScript 1.2 you can use regular expressions together with the
replace function to filter out (the platform specific) line breaks:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function filterLineBreaks (ta) {
ta.value =
ta.value.replace(/\r\n|\r|\n/g, ' ');
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="formName"
ONSUBMIT="filterLineBreaks(this.aTextArea); return true;"
>
<TEXTAREA NAME="aTextArea">

</TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
