Ok you have a number of options, in this case you could create a dive and use DHMTL to place the string into the div then use the inspect to view the data inside the div. I use dojo and it has a brilliant debug option which not only shows the string but it as an object, which shows \n\n\n String text \n\n more text
But I can't answer 100% sure if doing this and going to the dom would be sufficient enough. You could try console.log(string); never used it but you it might have options to view more details about the string or object in question. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

I just tested it and IE is OK with the following random string. IE reports 400 chars and Firefox reports more, so it must be what Steve says and it uses \n\n for new lines. I guess we'll have to do some regex replacing, hmm wonder how this is going to affect things.... ---------------------------------- hfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjkg kjdfnnjndfk nbjklcvnjkbn cvjknbjkncv jbncjvnbjkn cvjkbnjkcv jkbncjkvb jkcvjkbjkc vbjkncjkvn cv b cv b c v b cvb cvbcv bcvb cv b cv b cv b cv bc vb cv b cvbcvhfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjkg kjdfnnjndfk nbjklcvnjkbn cvjknbjkncv jbncjvnbjkn cvjkbnjkcv jkbncjkvb jkcvjkbjkc vbjkncjkvn cv b cv b c v b cvb cvbcv bcvb cv b cv b cv b cv bc vb cv b cvbcvhfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjk ---------------------------------- On 4/11/07, Steve Onnis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It actually depends on the browser. For example, in IE a return is \n\n where in FireFox a return is \n so you get a different in length. In Coldfusion a line break will be different also. I think thats where your getting your lengths screwing up.

Can you post an example string where they are different.

Not sure about the internals of both functions, but am hoping I can sort of get the two in sync. Anyone any ideas? len() VS obj.value.length I reckon it might have something to do with line breaks.
