Any suggestions???There are probably things going on with your use (or lack of use) of the [input] and [convertchars] contexts, and some of these things may also depend upon whether or not you're appending directly from a form or appending from an [append] context on the page following your form page.In other words, if you can be more specific and perhaps include the *relevant* parts of your WebDNA code in a message to this list, we might be able to see something that jumps out at us, and then we can tell you how to go about fixing it ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
