If a user is writing a text trough a form with a normal textfield he's often using 'Enters" &lt;BR&gt;. How the keep the &lt;BR&gt;'s correct when I pull the data out of the database ? Is this possible without PDeditor ? Or is it a little code that send the &lt;BR&gt;'s with the rest of the data in the database ?

Assuming you're using ASP/VBScript...
New line information is stored in DB as VbCrLf. All you need to do is to replace it with "&lt;br /&gt;". Something like:
&lt;%=Replace(Recordset.Fields.Item("Field".Value), VbCrLf, "&lt;br /&gt;"%&gt;

Thank you !
I though it was simple, this helped me a lot, I almost used PDeditor for such a small thing.
