This should be easy for you experienced ASP coders.

How do I check if a string contains "<" or ">"?

Thanks!

STRING_NAME = Request.Form("STRING") 'etc etc, change as necessary

If InStr(STRING_NAME,"<") OR InStr(STRING_NAME,">") Then

'Do whatever you want if it contains the > or <

End If

Here is what we used to use in register.asp to test for those:

	if (Instr(Request.Form("Name"), ">") > 0 ) or (Instr(Request.Form("Name"), "<") > 0) then
		Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li> &gt; and &lt; are not allowed in the UserName, Please Choose Another</li>"
	end if
