What heywood said. Given that Enter/Return does the same thing in other programs such as Word that have a large text entry area, it's not too unreasonable to try it with the ones on websites.

Furthermore, the reason the spacebar method didn't work is that browsers don't display more than one consecutive space.

Lucky "And even if they did display more than one consecutive space, the lack of a return would cause the browser to treat your text as being part of the same paragraph as the text you were replying to, causing it to be positioned strangely." Wizard
