Transfered it all to cfc on our external site, works like a charm. now here comes the tricky part... sez they, "bold/italic or bold by product line, ™ and ® only on the first instance of a product in body copy; so: <body copy start> 1st instance <b>e-terra</b><i>assetmanager</i>(tm) 2nd instance <b>e-terra</b><i>assetmanager</i> -- no (tm) 1st instance <b>e-terra</b><i>marketmanager</i>(tm) 1st instance <b>BiTRONICS</b>(r) 2nd instance <b>BiTRONICS</b> -- no (r) and so on..."
