I have a page where a user can insert a review. he enters a text of a review. When you go back to edit the review you can see the text in the correct format but that is because it is within a textbox. however, when you view the review all of the paragraphs are gone.

i need the format of the reviews to be shown correctly. If at all possible it would be nice to not only do this but also keep it so that any of the hypertext that was entered into the review will process.

any suggestions?

thanks alot
joe marshall

Use the ASP Replace function to replace the text's VbCrLf's with <br> So where they press RETURN twice, it'll insert 2 <br>, cause when ASP views the text, it outputs it as HTML

Replace this:

&lt;%=(RecordsetName.Fields.Item("MemoFieldName".Value)%&gt;

With this:

&lt;%= Replace(RecordsetName.Fields.Item("MemoFieldName".Value, VbCrLf, "&lt;BR&gt;"%&gt;




When in doubt...reboot!

thank you
