Problems reading params

Hi,

I have a form that includes a textarea. When this form is submitted and the
value from the query 
string is read. I find that for some reason if the value includes carrige
returns it is not correctly
being displayed. As additional blank lines have appeared.

Say this is my xsl sheet.

<xsl:stylesheet etc>

<xsl:param name="test"/>

<xsl:template match="data">

  ..... etc 

  <form>
    <textarea name="test"><xsl:value-of select="$test"/></textarea>
    <input type="submit"/>
  </form>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

pretend this is the textarea defined above. If I enter say:

 ------------------------
 |ab				|
 |cd				|
 | 				|
 ------------------------

then
 ----------
 | Submit |
 ----------

which produces the query string ?test=ab%0D%0Acd

when I re-display the value as in the above code.

 ------------------------
 |ab				|
 | 				|    <-- Suddenly there is an extra line
here.
 |cd				|
 ------------------------

Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Do I need to run a function on $test
before I display it?

Oh and I'm using Cocoon 1.7.4

thanks in advance,
Matt.
