Query Returns < and > character

[cybermud]

Gang:

I have a databse query which returns a string. The string may contain the > and < character. When this is outputted, characters beyond the < do not display. Any tips on getting those characters on the page?

Thanks,
Cybermud

Gang:

I answered my own question. I just issued a replace command on the < and > characters as the string is outputted. It seems to work ok, even passing between pages. Thanks anyway.

If you need to display those signs, you might can try wrapping the variable with #HTMLCodeFormat(VarName)#. But this will actually SHOW all html that may happen to be in the variable.




Hope This Helps!

I might give that a shot, although there is no HTML in the variable. Its a string of ascii characters that may contain the < and > character which are picked up by the HTML parser against my wishes.
