Folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate all html tags in a string except for <img> and <a> tags. Any ideas? I've been stumped for several days.
thanks,

    ======================
    In it's simplest form I would suggest that might be:

    <(?!(?:a|img)\s|/a>)[^>]*>

    if CF doesn't like (?:):

    <(?!(a|img)\s|/a>)[^>]*>

    Hi Azadi. Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seem to work.

    None of the html tags get removed now.

    Any other ideas?
