[Javascript] Text range object

[javascript@xxxxxxxxxx (Andrew Gibson)]

Thanks cory I did. The problem was that on hitting an enter button, it
threw(correctly) a <br> into the HTML source. But it also enclosed the
previous line in a <p>  </p> or something like that, meaning an extra line.

So I just replaced the <br> 's  with ''  and seemes to work ok..
