changing text in html with asp.

[scotty]

Hello,

Gotta small question. I am trying to convert the output of a database query, objRec("positiondescription") into HTML.

The database holds regular text, but is there an elegant
way to turn linebreaks in <br>?

I tried the HTML <pre> tag but I don't like the typewriter like font. It doesn't word wrap well, either.

Thanks so much,
Scott

Hi,

You can use this:

Function toHTML(strText)

Dim strHTML

If IsNull(strText) Then
    strHTML = ""
Else
    strHTML = Replace(strText, Chr(13), "<br>")
End If

toHTML = strHTML

End Function

Then to use it:

Response.Write(toHTML(objRec("positiondescription").Value))

That should do the trick.

Works like a champ! Thanks so much...
