Hi there

I've created a db field with Memo type, and I have stored some text with
carriage returns (no html) So the 3 words start on a differnt line. In
access this displays correctly ( each word starts on a new line).
However when I display these on a web page all the words appear on the same
line.

I need the words to be displayed on a seperate line.

ANY HELP APPECIATED.

thanks

sText = {your text on multiple lines}

<%=Replace(sText,vbCrLf," ")%>

or

<pre>
<%=sText%>
</pre>

Thanks for your help.

Can I also give the user to make a piece of text bold without a 'rich text
editor'. If not any recommendations?
Thanks in advance..

You'd have to know which word or words they want to be in bold.

One way is to have them start each line they want in bold with a period;
(or some other special character -- change the value of "cCHR" to it).

Then you could do this:

<%
Const cCHR = "."
 sText = {your text on multiple lines}
 aTemp = Split(sText,vbCrLf)
For iTemp = 0 To UBound(aTemp)
 sTemp = aTemp(iTemp)
 If Left(sTemp,1) = cCHR Then

aTemp(iTemp) = "" & Mid(sTemp,2) & ""

End If
Next
sText = Join(aTemp," ")
%>

<%=sText%>

The above is untested -- let me know if there's a problem.
