OK - I have a dynamic site that allows the user to add 'news' through the PD-OnLine HTML interface. Easy so far...

Problem: The users are copying-pasting from some Office app that keeps adding <p></p> tags surrounding the text. When this is displayed, it skews the alignment due to the tags.

Options: I want to eliminate only the <p></p> tags from showing, allowing all other HTML. Should I do this on the display page or at submission? How?

Thanks in advance...

Assuming you're using ASP...
Use Replace - Replace(Something, "<p>", "" and Replace(Something, "</p>", ""

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
