Charles, would you also recommend EWebEditPro and ActiveEdit for allowing users to enter tables and special characters into a textarea or are there other alternatives.
Thanks.

The user is shown a "rich text editor" instead of a textarea. It can still be just a small part of a bigger page: it doesn't take over the entire user interface. They just see like a mini word processor in the equivalent space of a textarea, with buttons for setting bold, italics, underline, changing fonts, and lots lots more. That resulting code appears to your form processing page as the same HTML they'd have built in your current approach, but of course it's a WYSIWYG editor to the user and they needn't know HTML. Two classic solutions in the CF world are EWebEditPro (http://www.ektron.com/ewebeditpro.cfm) from Ektron.com, and ActiveEdit (http://www.cfdev.com/activedit/) from CFDev.com. Both sites have live demos for you to see what the tools are about. /charlie - You are subscribed to the CFUGToronto CFTALK ListSRV.
