Hi list, with this code I want to strip off HTML coding of the field: XYSHORTDESC of a mySQL-table-field. It doesn't really work, since it is giving back blank fields after running, and I don't know why. Does anybody have a clue why or have an idea which ColdFusion function I can take to strip off HTML ro run it properly ? Thanks. Uwe
