meet your new friend:

: Second querstion, related. Do you think I'm better
: of adding the form info w/html into the DB, or should
: I convert it when it's fed from the DB (I'm wondering
: if there are some sort of conversions that may go on
: behind the scene to screw up my function)
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

definitely do it before.  better to do the conversion once than to do the
conversion every single time the data is viewed.

<tip type="cold fusion" author=".jeff">

did you know that you can wrap functions as deep as you want?

#Replace(Replace(form.foo,"'", "\'", "ALL"), Chr(10), "\n", "ALL")#

the above would first replace all single-quotes with
back-slash-single-quote.  then it would replace all line feeds with \n.

good luck,
