Sorry I didn't explain that very well at all. Page 1 - Form with 3 xfa's
x1 - save - write to the db x2 - Preview - Just show what it's going to look like, has an 'edit' button and a 'save' button x3 - Upload a file x1 and x3 are just fine the way they are. However when we do the preview and then they hit the edit button I need to repopulate the form again. The only way we have to pass that info back (it can be some huge text with some funky characters) is to write it to the client scope and then pull it out back on the form page. Now for writing to the db, and uploading the file we have no problems. when I write it to the db I do <cfqueryparam value="#htmlEditFomat(attributes.whatever)#" cfsqltype="whatever"> and have no problems. Now when we are looping through the attributes scope and writing these values into the client scope we do cient.whatever = htmlEditFormat(attributes[i]); (it's in a function). However when I display these values in the textarea on the form page the " say quot; whatever, even though I am not using htmlEditFormat on the form field. Does that make more sense?
