Description

Hello,

When I try to read a textarea value with $('#id').val(), and this textarea has multiline value, $('#id').val() is giving me a different value than document.getElementBy('id').value.

The effect is that when transforming \r\n to \n, and sendind data to a server, servers receive a single line instead of several lines.

I've attached a html file. This is happening with Internet Explorer and Opera. The behaviour with firefox seems to be incorrect too.

This is an intentional change. Browsers weren't consistent about providing the \r in the retrieved value so we remove it to become consistent across all browsers.

This breaks line separator in multiline html elements, doesn't it?

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4

I openned a bug in bugzilla to firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549278).

Thanks.
