Hi,

how can I prevent users from filling out HTML in a textarea. I don't care if it's checked with a javascript or with coldfusion on the 'next" page -> form action=page.cfm

Thank you in advance

Alternatively, you could use the following regular expression to strip anything between angle brackets:

<cfset form.mytextarea = rereplace(form.mytextarea,&quot;<[^>]*>&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;all&quot;)>
