Strips any HTML tags from a string and returns the results. I use this for data that users submit through forms to prevent them from using HTML.
asHTML - the string that may contain HTML code
This function assumes that you have vbScript 5.0 or higher installed.
Returns a string that has been stripped of HTML code.
Your page will come up with errors if you do not have vbScript 5.0 or higher installed on your server (or on the client browser if that is where it is being used)
