It's a bit of a > repost, but I'm really striking out. Here is how I would approach it: 1. Use the ReplaceList() function to replace all permitted tags and matching end-tags with tokens unique to each tag. The tokens will have to be fairly unique - using control characters would be a good idea to replace the brackets. <cfset bmarker = Chr(2)> <cfset emarker = Chr(3)> <cfset mystring = ReplaceList(mystring, "<b,<i,<u,/b>,/i>,/u>", "#bmarker#b,#bmarker#i,#bmarker#u,/b#emarker#,/i#emarker#,/u#emarker#")> 2. Invalidate all of the remaining HTML by either stripping out the entire HTML tags, or by turning the < and > into special < and > characters. You can do the latter with: <cfset mystring = ReplaceList(mystring, "<,>", "<,>")> 3. Replace the tokens with their original tags (i.e. reversing step 1). <cfset mystring = ReplaceList(mystring, "#bmarker#b,#bmarker#i,#bmarker#u,/b#emarker#,/i#emarker#,/u#emarker#", "<b,<i,<u,/b>,/i>,/u>")> Jim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
