My guess would be that the dump ends up with doubled double quotes and that is throwing something off
if FORM.tex = "my string" then your dump is <cfdump var=""mystring""> As you may know, double quotes in say form input field values can cause tags to break unless you wrap the value in something like htmlEditFormat() - so based on seeing that happen I'm assuming something similar is going on with your dump tag. shot in the dark - hope it helps Cheers *Bryan Stevenson*B.Comm.
