If you use htmlEditFormat, then the string ">" will be sent to the browser as >
So, it should work just fine. Doesn't it? If not, please post the snippet in question.

Speaking of htmlEditFormat, here's a question for you. Say you've got a textarea where users can enter a combination of text and html. A knowledge base system, for the sake of argument. The user decides to enter some displayed code, like this: This is how to <b>bold</b> a word: <b>bold</b> The user saves the record, and so far so good. Now comes time to edit the article, and here's where it gets ugly... MSIE will display the "<" and ">" strings as actual brackets in the text area, so the article now looks like this in the textarea input box: This is how to <b>bold</b> a word: <b>bold</b> and when the user re-saves the article, they of course get switched back to real brackets. Any workarounds would be appreciated... -Ron ______________________________________________________________________ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.
