John, I'm not sure that the URL'ed version appears as intended based on the following examples: The WebDNA: [url]NOAasdf """ asdf";:asdf[/url]"> [url]NOAasdf """ asd f";:asdf[/url]"> [input]NOAasdf """ asdf";:asdf[/input]"> [input]NOAasdf """ asd f";:asdf[/input]"> The Result: In Safari and Firefox, the first two show the escaped translation, not what I'd want the users to see. The third one works as I'd expect and the fourth truncates at the return after asd. Did you mean to URL the form before passing it to display in the HTML outside of an input?
