Persist which thread do you talk about not using CDATA?

Maybe I am bad but I tend to use them unless the client is not keen, anyway can anyone find where Persist mentioned not using CDATA tags or can add guidence? Cheers. Feel free to move to flash section just in a rush to get a reply.

Thanks I read that one but must of missed significance first time. I am just not convinced to trust client with putting in links that will always work, and seems more natural in the content case. But I have mentioned the existance of the solution. I removed cdatas from just number or # number strings used.

Just for clarity, the solution is to avoid the use of cdata as merely a linebreak solution. There are cases for cdata. is not one of them unless you're using it among a large set of html tags.

This is also a data transport mechanism. the user should always just be able to press enter. Your data handler would convert the string to agnostic syntax and another would handle the end display requirement. The user never needs to know.
