texte = Kimberly -I copied your code onto my dev system, and it worked without a hitch. The only code change I made was the removal of the search in the first page (replaced by setting a text variable named body).You can test it at http://www.brainscansoftware.com/sites/testpages/kim1.htmlThere are some bad multi-character entries in you convertchars db - the from can only contain single characters. Note that %0D counts as a single character, as WebDNA does an UNURL on it before doing the conversion, but %0D%0A, (c), > and < are all multiple character values and will essentially be ignored by WebDNA. If you must convert multiple character strings, use CONVERTWORDS instead of (or in addition to) CONVERTCHARS.These problems, however, did not affect the results on my server - OSX 10.1.5 / WebDNA 4.5.0So... I don't know what the problem is, but it appears to be specific to your server setup.- brianAt 10:10 PM 11/19/02, Kimberly D. Walls \(Ingram\) wrote:>I take it back... didn't work.
