Thanks. Yeah, I've heard of it (and used it), I was just using it in the wrong place. I was trying to use it when serializing the data to wddx, not on the hidden field value, where it should've been.
Another Related Question: I'm now getting errors "Not well formed" because of special characters like a registered mark ®. Is there a function to deal with these rather than using regex? If not, does anyone have a regex to replace all characters like this? I'm sure this isn't the only character that will cause problems. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kwang Suh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 10:42 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: WDDX Breaking Hidden Field > > > htmlEditFormat() the packet. > > <input type="hidden" name="hiddenfield" > value="#htmlEditFormat(myWDDXPacket)#"> > > Does absolutely no one know about this function? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 8:19 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: WDDX Breaking Hidden Field > > > I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it anywhere. > > I have a textarea that allows users to type a bunch of text.
