I want to preserve how the text looks in the code. It's a <td>
element, so I styled it like this: td#textarea { white-space: pre; }

It's working in FF. But IE6 is getting rid of the first blank line of
my text. This line is necessary.

<td id="textarea"><-- the text does not start on this line
<-- the text starts here, on this line; so, there is a "\n" at the
beginning
</td>

Do you have any idea of how to fix that?
