First off, thanks to those who assisted me with the nl2br() issue.

Now here is another interesting "break."

I brought up a record in my edit_task page, didn't make a change, and
hit "submit." Now please forget for a moment the fact that I hit
submit to update a record that hadn't changed...but I received a error
as if MySQL doesn't like making an update to a record when there isn't
a change.

Of course I wanted to check that everything was a normal and by simply
adding another character or line break, it took the change.

Thoughts as to why it wouldn't update a record that wasn't changed?
How would I get around this if/when the client chooses this page,
decides not to update anything, but hits Submit to return to the
previous page???

Thanks.
