Showbreaks function

I know this code goes before the html tag...

<%
Function showBreaks(str)
showBreaks = replace(str, chr(10), " <br>")
End Function
%>

But how do i get my dynamic data to apply this?

Hello Ben,

str is the argument of the function. You need to pass this particular
function a string. That string can be a record you're outputting, a
variable, or a true string ("This is a string"). (Perhaps there are other
ways but I'm not thinking of any at the moment...)

So if this is your code

<%= rsMyRecordset.Item("MyField).Value %>

you would make that the argument of the function like so:

<%= showBreaks(rsTLS.Fields.Item("txtItemName").Value) %>

Hope that helps, and good luck.

~Angela
