I have a textarea where people can cut & paste their resume.
Unfortunately they often cut & paste their Word resume into the
textarea, funky characters and all.
This causes the display to be mangled from the HTML end when people
view pages with these resumes stored as a MySQL text field entry.
How do I fix this, also, how do I fix the displays of those already
entered this way?
Thanx

Phil,
I guess I look at the problem differently.
If I request a resume in Word format, I expect it in Word format. If someone else sends in a plain text file, they aren't even considered for employment. And vice versa.
I mean - they're trying to find a job. If you ask them for plain text and they can't even follow that simple direction, could they follow more complicated instructions? Would you want to hire them?
