Anyone knows a technique or method to find the position of the natural text line breaks in a textarea using javascript? It's not about finding \n or <br/>'s.

    That's gonna be very hard to do, if possible at all. You could find them easily in a div though. – Alex Turpin Mar 27 '12 at 13:37
  • Wow that was fast! Thanks for the heads up, I will check that out. By natural I meant where it wraps in a textarea naturally, not by user entered line break. – somartist Mar 27 '12 at 13:50

It is not possible to do this directly, but the answer to this question uses a trick to find them where it adds characters one by one and checks for scrolling: finding "line-breaks" in textarea that is word-wrapping ARABIC text
