Ok
I want to have a little form. Where I enter a line which looks like this:
emailto=smiesian@comcast.net&FirstName=BOB&LastName=BOB&Age=999&Username=IHATEBOB&UserMame=PASSWORD
ok
I want it to look like this:
<firstname>BOB</firstname><lastname>BOB</lastname>...

I am thinking i have seen something like this in a text area where i put it into and i press a button and it changes it.

THIS IS ONLY FOR ME! NOT FOR MY VIEWERS! THANKS!!! HTML and Javascript or if you can, Html , or just javascript. Here are the things i want to change:
& becomes <
= becomes />
ok??

is that hard?? (I hope not) thanks people really alot for just reading this...

Could need refinement, I'm not certain if I understood your requirements:
