Enter key in textarea

by

You could do something like this:

<body>

<textarea id="txtArea" onkeypress="onTestChange();"></textarea>

<script>
function onTestChange() {
    var key = window.event.keyCode;

    // If the user has pressed enter
    if (key === 13) {
        document.getElementById("txtArea").value = document.getElementById("txtArea").value + "\n*";
        return false;
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}
</script>

</body>

Although the new line character feed from pressing enter will still be there, but its a start to getting what you want.
