How to add a CRLF in a Textarea in IE6 with Coldfusion?

Question

How can I add a CRLF into a Textarea using Coldfusion 7 code?

I've tried every way that I can think of and every way that I've found. Nothing is working for IE6. In Chrome and IE8 pretty much everything I try works fine... However, this app has to run in IE6.

The below code is how I'm building my string for the textarea.

<cfset qResults = "">
<cfif myQuery.RecordCount GT 0>
    <cfloop query="myQuery">
        <cfset qResults="#qResults#" 
                          & "#qfield1# #qfield2# #qfield3# &nbsp;|__|&nbsp; " 
                          & Chr(13) & Chr(10)>
    </cfloop>
<cfelse>

As you can see, I've just gone to separating the different query returns by an ugly |__| since I can't get anything else to work.

I've also tried just the CR or just the LF and I've also tried html breaks.

Well, that could be the issue. This is pulling data in dynamically through javascript. The user clicks a textbox, selects from a dropdown, and the rest of the fields on the form are populated with the relevant information. The code above, actually sits on a popDB.cfm page, it's called by

$.post("popDB.cfm", {id: thisValue}, function(data) {
        var dataArr = data.split(',');

Later on in the function, the actual field is populated by:

$('#qResultsID' + iter).html(dataArr[16]); 

I have tried all these methods separately as well.

chr(10) should work for you if there are no other issues

<cfset str = "" />
<cfloop list="item1,item2,item3" index="listitem">
    <cfset str &= listitem & chr(10) />
</cfloop>
<cfoutput><textarea rows="10" cols="10">#str#</textarea></cfoutput>
