title: Textarea to paragraph or plain text
body: <p>I have a form where a user is able to comment via a textarea. If the submit button is clicked it returns the value of what is entered in the textarea inside a textarea. How can I change this it so that on submit the value of the textarea is returned as a plain text/paragraph with jquery or php?</p>
  
  <p>The code for textarea and button:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;textarea rows="6" cols="40" scroll="auto" name="reply_for_{$item.id}"&gt;
      {if isset($item.reply)}
          {$item.reply}
      {/if}
  &lt;/textarea&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;input name="addcomment" value="{lang mkey='submit'}" type="button" onclick="
      document.forms['commentsFrm'].id.value={$item.id};
      document.forms['commentsFrm'].submit(); 
  "/&gt;
  </code></pre>
