Thanks to you Gurus on here the bllcks-to-pca.org site is progressing extremely well - I knew nothing about asp 3 months ago. I have pages where my members can enter into various memo fields which I display typically using <%=replace(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"comment"),chr(10),"<br>")%> Any hints/tips on how I can let them do basic formating (bold, italic, font, the odd smiley etc.) when entering the text and without them needing any knowledge of HTML? Sure, I could use something like a forum message input form {as per this 'wonderful' forum} but I would prefer any entry to be WYSIWYG, didn't show all the tags and doesn't need a 'Preview'. I guess the nearest I have seen to this is new message form on the MSN forums. Cheers Bernie
