Is it possible to interact with a textarea field:
<textarea id="list"></textarea>
I have a textarea where you can enter one item per a line, and I want to be able to get each new line in the textarea. I can't find any way with the DOM to get how many rows are in the textarea and how to know what is each row.
Anyone give a hand?

I hope you are trying to get something like

I guess you were looking for an end line separator ('\n')
Something like this?:

<script type="text/javascript">
function alertLine(f){
var n=Number(f['nr'].value)-1, t=f['txa'].value.split('\n');
if(t[n]){alert(t[n])}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<textarea name="txa" id="txa"></textarea>
<br><br>
<input type="button" value="Alert the line no:" onclick="alertLine(this.form)"> <input type="text" name="nr" id="nr" size="4">
</form>
</body>
</html>
