I use this for saving dynamicly created invoices to singe html pages. you could also store the content ina database or use it some other way, as it saves the output to a vaiable

little problem:

is there any way to not save <BR>s and <P>s with cfsavecontent and simply have plain text as variable?

 

[imstillatwork]

assuming content is your cfsavecontent variable name
<cfset content = replace(content, "<br>", " ", ALL)>
<cfset content = replace(content, "</br>", " ", ALL)>

probably a better method out there.

there are more other tags than just <BR>s and <P>s. I don't think replace() is a good choice in my case. thanks again.
