tag, this should work fine.  You don't need the [input] context around the field where you first enter the information - returns entered in a <textarea> field are submitted as soft returns anyway.The [input] context is only to convert them to hard returns when you are displaying information (the contents of a database field, an included file, etc.) inside a <textarea> field.If you aren't using it inside a <textarea> field, just use the [convertchars] context instead.I hope this helps,Marc EagleStarNine Technologieshttp://www.smithmicro.com/
