Ok, I gotcha. In this process there's nothin extra really goin on. It's a simple update.
It goes into the cfc like this: prodlongdesc="#Trim(FORM.prodlongdesc)#" The cfc does this in the query: prodlongdescription = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_longvarchar" value="#ARGUMENTS.prodlongdesc#"> My cftextarea just outputted it straight from the field and voila, there's a bunch of those chars in my output. I still don't understand how they're gettin there. Thanks!
