> Does that make more sense? Actually that's just confirming what I was saying... you shouldn't be using client.whatever = htmlEditFormat(attributes[i]), just client.whatever = attributes[i] -- don't htmleditformat unless the value is going _directly_ to the output buffer in the same statement. You really never want to store an htmleditformatted value anywhere, because the htmledit-formatting isn't part of the data -- it's an escape sequence for the data -- the data itself should always be stored un-escaped, because each medium (html/xml,url,sql,rich-text) will have a different set of rules for escaping special characters. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:166859 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
