Soundings ColdFusion Survey Update - 1.5.1

I've released an update to Soundings today. Soundings is my ColdFusion survey application. It lets you create surveys and gather results. You can generate reports on these surveys as well.

The update has more bug fixes on the tableprefix feature. Nathan, I hope your happy. ;) I want to give big thanks to Ryan Heldt. He sent me a nice list of the tableprefix bugs along with actual line numbers. This made it super easy to update the code base.

So why did I update the version number? I actually added a feature. A request came in a week or so ago that made such perfect sense I'm not sure why I never had it in the first place. You can now clear the results of a survey. This lets you build the survey, test it, and then clear the results before going live.

As always, you can download the code from the project page.

p.s. Hey Scott, look, I didn't mention my wishlist once! Oops...

I modified the soundings program to allow for longer questions. All i did was change the database field from a varchar(255) to a text; and then modified the questions.cfc file by removing the 255 max length on the updates and the additions of new questions.

That is working fine, however, I need to be able to drop down lines or bold certain parts of the question, but it is converting my HTML into > and <.

I can't seem to figure out where it is doing this, since i've been using the soundings program for about a day. I spent 25 minutes searching, but figured i'd post it here in case someone already solved this problem.

Questions are edited via their edit handlers. The edit handlers all call request.udf.cleanStruct(form). This UDF is in /includes/udf.cfm. You can either make the UDF simply do nothing, or remove the calls.
