Hi there, I'll try to explain this without getting myself, or you, too confused... =)
I have an online admin tool for my client for their calendar of events. They are able to enter the details for the event into a <textarea> field in the <cfform>. The <textarea> corresponds to a Memo-type field in an Access 2000 database. The information saved in the db field is outputted on the website using #ParagraphFormat(Description)# so that all paragraph breaks, etc. are retained. However, when I enter in HTML code (e.g. email addresses using <a href="mailto:blahblah">) into the <textarea> it does something funny when I go back in a second time to re-edit the information. It will copy some of the text and place it before the previously existing text. For example, if I entered the following PARAGRAPH START... This is some sample text. Here is a website you should look at: <a href="url here" target="_self">url</a>. You should also email the friendly people at CFUG - click <a href="mailto:cftalk?subject=this is a test">here</a>. This is some more sample text. What would happen is that it looks something like this when I go back in to edit it again (copies some of the text and places it at the beginning): url here" target="_self">url</a>. You should also email the friendly people at CFUG - click <a href="mailto:cftalk?subjet=this is a test">here</a>. PARAGRAPH START... This is some more sample text. This is some sample text. Here is a website you should look at: <a href="url here" target="_self">url</a>. You should also email the friendly people at CFUG - click <a href="mailto:cftalk?subject=this is a test">here</a>. This is some more sample text. What can I do to stop this, but still ensure that they can enter in HTML code if desired. If they type in plain text, it works fine. It's the HTML code that's ruining the party. =) I tried #HTMLCodeFormat(Description)# in the <textarea> but that didn't seem to do the trick. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
