Hi I have an app which posts an ajax request with with text area content, but when it does post it it gets all the newlines and multiple spaces removed (need to use multiple spacing for use with markdown code snippets) I''ve created a sample app which you can see here http://test.42horizons.com/test, View it in IE 8 and both requests remove line spaces and new lines, view it in firefox 3.6.3 windows and the left request works ok and the right request removes line spaces and new lines the echo action which the requests are sent to simply removes the controller and action keys from params and then does render :text => params.to_json Anyone have any ideas what I''m doing wrong? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

After look deeper it looks like ActiveSupport::JSON.decode is to
blame, heres an example
ActiveSupport::JSON.decode("data=\"\\u000a function(){\
\u000a var a = 1;\\u000a }\\u000a\\u000a \"")
=> data=\" function(){ var a = 1; }\n\"
Anyone know if theres a fix to this?

I''ve change the ajax posting from "data=some data" to
"{data:''some
data''}"
Hopefully thats what you meant
Unfortunatley this hasnt changed the response, rails is still removing
the spaces and new lines
Is this what you mean?
