Replacing chr(13)&chr(10) characters with HTML equivalent

and if there's something that seems off still try flopping the chr(10) and chr(13) around....

<cfset newdescription = replaceNoCase(xtblAllCoProdCatDesc.sdescription, chr(10)&chr(13), "<br><br>", "all")>

And this is from the CF documentation:
chr(10) returns a linefeed character and Chr(13) returns a carriage return character. The two-character string Chr(13) & Chr(10) is the newline string.

You can loop through the string and display the ascii characters using asc() if you want to find out what values are being used.

<cfloop index="kk" from="1" to="#len(string)#">
    #asc(mid(string,kk,1))#
</cfloop>

Great!  Thanks for all of the replies.  I will give these recommendations a shot and report back shortly on how successful I was and what worked.  Thanks again!

I tried all of these recommendations, and none of them did the trick.  No errors, but the display was the same as before.

gdemaria:  Not sure how to apply this code to my particular scenario.  Can you help interpret please?

Any other suggestions?

Ok gdemaria: I got your code working.  How do I decipher this and actually tell what characters to replace?

lol, well maybe you should add an identification as to what character you're on..

<cfloop index="kk" from="1" to="#len(string)#">
    #mid(string,kk,1)# = #asc(mid(string,kk,1))# <br>
</cfloop>

<cfset string = xtblAllCoProdCatDesc.sdescription>
<cfloop index="kk" from="1" to="#len(string)#">
    #mid(string,kk,1)# = #asc(mid(string,kk,1))# <br>
</cfloop>
