text formatting in flash forms

[RyanCardone]

is it possible to format text in a cfform type="flash." I have a cfgrid pulling information from a query, then a bunch of cfformitems that displays the data of the selected grid element. The problem I have is that in the database many of the columns are just huge chunks of text that I need to format to look presentable (replace specific characters with line breaks, etc.). I've tried researching ways to do this, but so far no luck. I tried taking care of the data before inputting it in the DB, however when you use the bind command in cfformitem it ignores the html characters.

For example:

<cfformitem type="html" name="ranges" readonly="YES" label="Ranges:" bind="{testGrid.dataProvider[testGrid.selectedIndex]['ranges']}" width="300" /> produces:

0Y 00M 00D^F^CL N/A^^CH N/A^, 0Y 00M 00D^M^CL N/A^^CH N/A^, 18^F^CL N/A^53-357^CH N/A^, 18^M^CL N/A^53-357^CH N/A^,

and I need it to format it into a nice looking table or something (delimiting on the ^ character and comma's).

I know that probably sounds convoluted but any help would be appreciated

Check out the REPLACE and LIST functions in CF.

yeah, normally that is the solution except you cant use CF tags in a cfform where format is flash

Replace before using in CFFORM or use ActionScript to edit.
