If I am not wrong, Martin suggested replace carriage returns with \n (escape
sequence for carriage return). If your script is in JScript, now you have
(after executing ASP):

document.Form1.Text.value = 'some text
that continues on next line';

You should have (next line has no breaks):

document.Form1.Text.value = 'some text\nthat continues on next line';
