RE: text box output truncation
Well right off the bat I would have to say it's the fact that you are setting a maximum limit on the text of "50". MAXLENGTH Indicates the maximum number of characters that can be entered into a text field. This can be greater than specified by the SIZE attribute, in which case the field will scroll appropriately. The default number of characters is unlimited. Steven Semrau SRA International, Inc.

Re: text box output truncation
My understanding of trim is that it removes leading and trailing spaces only and not spaces on the interior. If the variables are url, then urlencodedformat() function might be appropriate.

Re: text box output truncation
From my understanding of the TRIM() function, whenever it encounters a space, it then removes any and all following information if it exists. So, if you're wanting to have the "Brand new day" outputted correctly, drop the trim() portion.
