Mead, Ph.D. > President, Talent Algorithms Inc. Alan: Many thanks (I think) for giving me a lot to review. I was hoping a couple of primed regexs would solve the problem, but it appears to be something larger. I tried using the <textarea> approach and it seemed to work, but like you said the OS will have a say in what ultimately the user cut/paste operation produces. I had one client who pasted from a Word document where a bold character was orphaned (left open) and his entire web page turned bold and then complained to me about it — like I did something wrong. He was a nightmare to deal with. Like I said, I now have literally a hundred, or more, very highly educated people (the worse kind) cutting and pasting all sorts of styles to get their words recorded like they feel is important — style over substance. So, it’s back to the drawing board. I was hoping for a simple solution, but… Well, what else do I have to do during this “stay at home” period, huh? My wife wanted to take a trip, so I put up a map of Michigan in our kitchen and told her to throw a dart and wherever it landed, we would spend two weeks there. It looks like we’re going to be spending two weeks behind the refrigerator. Cheers, Tedd _______________ Tedd Sperling tedd.sperling@xxxxxxxxx
