Taco,
Do you have firebug installed in FF? Might pay to use that to check the string out. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

I just tested it and IE is OK with the following random string. IE reports 400 chars and Firefox reports more, so it must be what Steve says and it uses \n\n for new lines. I guess we'll have to do some regex replacing, hmm wonder how this is going to affect things.... ---------------------------------- hfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjkg kjdfnnjndfk nbjklcvnjkbn cvjknbjkncv jbncjvnbjkn cvjkbnjkcv jkbncjkvb jkcvjkbjkc vbjkncjkvn cv b cv b c v b cvb cvbcv bcvb cv b cv b cv b cv bc vb cv b cvbcvhfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjkg kjdfnnjndfk nbjklcvnjkbn cvjknbjkncv jbncjvnbjkn cvjkbnjkcv jkbncjkvb jkcvjkbjkc vbjkncjkvn cv b cv b c v b cvb cvbcv bcvb cv b cv b cv b cv bc vb cv b cvbcvhfghdf gh dfhgdfgjk dfjk ---------------------------------- On 4/11/07, Steve Onnis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It actually depends on the browser. For example, in IE a return is \n\n where in FireFox a return is \n so you get a different in length. In Coldfusion a line break will be different also. I think thats where your getting your lengths screwing up.

Can you post an example string where they are different.

Not sure about the internals of both functions, but am hoping I can sort of get the two in sync. Anyone any ideas? len() VS obj.value.length I reckon it might have something to do with line breaks.
