Exact Forms - Extra Spaces with Rich Text fields

I have a multi line rich text field in an exact form. In the past I used html to manage the spacing which worked fine. When Quickbase changed the formatting on this field I can no longer use html in...

I found this same issue.
I ended up replacing the standard javascript file that this exact form calls, with a slightly modified js file, only changing one line in the js.

line 232 old

data += "<BR>\r\n ";

line 232 new

data += "<!-- <BR> --> \r\n ";

I don't know what that is for, if I need it later I will adjust the script.

John, I'm not very familiar with javascript, but I found the link to a .js file in the exact form Page html. I downloaded that file, replaced the line you referenced, uploaded the new .js file to a publicly accessible Quick Base file attachment field, created a new code Page with the updated .js code, and pasted the link to that new code page in the src= section where I found the original .js link.

But the exact form isn't merging fields from QB. Was I anywhere close to the process that you used?

  Never mind, there was an issue when I pasted John's new code line. I fixed that and it removed the spacing!
