This might not be relevant but, what is returned by get_events.event_description? If it is some type of HTML such as <span style="font-weight:normal; color:black;">...</span> then it will overwrite the <b> styling because it is inside it.

Hi, all. In trying to tweak the display of some of my data in a textfield, I started using <b style="color:red;"></b> to make my heading stand out from the text under the heading. All was working great until I added some code to try to get the browser to honor spaces created with the spacebar, like I do with replacing carriage returns, chr(13)'s, with <br>. So I tried this: #replace(replace(get_events.event_description, "#chr(13)#", "<br>", "All"), "#chr(32)#", " ", "All")# was the closest I could find to a spacebar html representation at the moment. (Is there something better to use?) Anyway, the code above works fine, but it disables my <b style="color:red;"></b> code. No bold and no red. Why is that?
