Keeping paragraphs from memo fields

[bcunning989]

Hi all

I'm pretty new to Dreamweaver, I've been using Drumbeat 2000. In Drumbeat
there are contracts that are applied to a text field, change CRLF to BR and
Change BR to CRLF, which will take text from a memo field and have it properly
display as HTML. Is there anything like that for Dreamweaver, or can someone
show me how to do it?

Thanks!

type the text in DW design view, copy in code view and paste in your
memo field

Thanks for the reply Manuel, but that won't work. This is text coming from a
memo field in an access database into an application I've done in dreamweaver.
I'm trying to convert the crlf from access into the html <br> as drumbeat could
do.

i assumed you were able to create the DB, did you inherit it already
fullfilled?

It's not built in, but I believe there are extensions on the Exchange.
It's actually pretty easy. You mentioned Access, so here's the ASP
solution:
<%=Replace(yourRS.Fields.Item("yourMemo").Value,ch r(13),"<br>")%>

Maybe one of my extensions will help?
