I have initialised tinyMCE like so:
$('#description').tinymce({
// Location of TinyMCE script
script_url : 'tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
// General options
width : "830",
height: "300",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : "",
force_br_newlines : true,
force_p_newlines : false,
gecko_spellcheck : true,
forced_root_block : '', // Needed for 3.x
plugins : "paste"
});
i have textarea with some text.when i run it,it removes all spaces and line breaks and display text in one line here is my text
"Brand new!!!
Huge size of 3 bedroom apartment located in Dubai Marina Orra tower for rent
Situated on high floor, overlooking a gorgeous view of Marina"
You can manage it by adding another argument remove_linebreaks
$('#description').tinymce({
// Location of TinyMCE script
script_url : 'tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
// General options
width : "830",
height: "300",
theme : "advanced",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "left",
theme_advanced_statusbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "top",
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,bullist,numlist,",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : "",
force_br_newlines : true,
force_p_newlines : false,
gecko_spellcheck : true,
forced_root_block : '', // Needed for 3.x
remove_linebreaks : false,
plugins : "paste"});
But this depend on the tinyMCE version you are using. Because in the below site they say the attribute is not available in some version. http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration3x:remove_linebreaks
