title: Post newline/carriage return as hidden field value
body: <p>I need to post multi-line data via a hidden field.  The data will be viewed in a textarea after post.  How can I post a newline/carriage return in the html form?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried \r\n but that just posts the actual "\r\n" data</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="multiline_data" value="line one\r\nline two" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this?</p>
