Hi,

I have a bit of code used for swearing and emoticon validation used on my discussion forums, but in putting it in - I have lost my paragraph validation which was integrated before, into the tag. here is what I have:

<%
MessageContent = ForumRS4.Fields.Item("MessCont".value
MessageContent = Replace(MessageContent,"<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>","&lt;img src = boards/dbase/smilies/001.gif&gt;"
MessageContent = Replace(MessageContent,"<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>","&lt;img src = boards/dbase/smilies/002.gif&gt;"
MessageContent = Replace(MessageContent,":eek:","&lt;img src = boards/dbase/smilies/003.gif&gt;"
MessageContent = Replace(MessageContent,"<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>","&lt;img src = boards/dbase/smilies/004.gif&gt;"
%&gt;

It goes on - but I won't put the swear stuff in.

and then in printing the message : &lt;%= MessageContent %&gt;

Can anyone tell me, how, using that system, I can put in a thing that replaces a keyboard carriage return with a br tag on that page? cheers.

If that is not possible with that code, is there a way of changing it before it is posted to the database on the add message page?

If I'm understanding this correctly, you just need to add another one:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>MessageContent = Replace(MessageContent,vbcrlf,"&lt;br&gt;"</font id=code></pre id=code>
