Why write your own when there is one already built in to ASP?
Server.HTMLEncode()

This is a question? Are you asking whether ideas are wonderful?

Oh,
You want to *strip* out the HTML characters?

Hi Ken,
Seemed so simple... but this is what I get now:

It still prints the html tags....
I really want to get rid of the html tags.
Is there a certain way I should use the server.HTMLEncode() function.
This is how I use it now, with a little trim function...:
<%
Function trimLeft(text)
If Len(text) > 300 Then
trimLeft = Left(text,290) & "..."
Else
trimLeft = text
End If
End Function
%>
Then in a loop
<%=trimLeft(server.HTMLEncode(rsksearch("pageText1")))%>
This is the function I was trying to incorporate:
<% Function htmlout(text)
htmlout = replace(text, "<*>", "") ' where * would be a
wildcard
End Function
%>
Kindest Regards
Grant

Hi all,
I have page content in a database..... this includes html tags.
I have a search feature that searches the records and returns a trimed
string.
But of course it also sees the html tags as characters, which as you can
imaging plays havoc if I get half a table tag or something.
So I want to make a function to replace all of the html tags as they come
out of the database.
This is what I am looking for but am stuck with the wildcard:
Function htmlout(text)
htmlout = replace(text, "<*>", "")
End Function
Any ideas would be wonderful?
Regards
Grant
