asp_databases thread: Fomatted Output

I am trying to format the output from a database. I have no control over
how the information in entered. When I display it on the screen I want it
to look exactly as it was entered into the database. I know I can do this
with a textarea but that makes someone scroll of the data is too long and
wastes space if it is too short. How can i format this with line breaks

Have you tried placing the output between <pre> tags? If you're just
shooting for maintaining line breaks, Why not filter the result through
Replace() and replace all occurences of vbCrLf with "<br>". Try these and
see if either helps you.

Both great examples the replace method works for me. Now if I can just get one more question in. What
about when it comes to formating html. I want to display the <br> in the browser. Somehow ignore the HTML is this also
possible?

Alright ignore my last request. You guys already showed me how to do this. I just used the same
function to get rid of the < > and replace it with < and >. Dang you guys are smart

Use Server.HTMLEncode(). This function returns the supplied string with all
of the special HTML characters escaped (e.g. < is replaced with >, etc.).
