Wouldn''t this be a straightforward application of the before_save()
callback in your model(s)?

yes, this is how I am currently doing it, maybe I have miss understood 
how before save works

before_save :encodeTags

#
#removes html tags and encode &''s etc.. CGI.escapeHTML()
def removeTags
        self.name = strip_tags(self.name) if self.name
        self.author = strip_tags(self.author) if self.author
        self.author_email = strip_tags(self.author_email) if 
self.author_email
        self.url = strip_tags(self.url) if self.url
        self.repository = strip_tags(self.repository) if self.repository
end

I want to be able just to cycle over each attribute without having to 
specify a line for each one.

I assume you recognize the mismatch here and that it''s a typo.

Scaffold a sandbox app over a table and look at the list method to see how 
Rails generates the column headings.  That''s how you do it.

not tested, just writting by heart but i''m pretty sure it should work

self.attributes.each do |key,value|
    self[key] = strip_tags(self[key]) if self[key]
end

# Maybe something like...
attribute_names.select { |a| attribute_present? a }.each { |a| self[a]
= strip_tags(self[a]) }

thanks everyone, this is how I did it in the end, however teh above 
solution seems to look nice too.

#
# add new lines as required
# CGI.escapeHTML() or ERB::Util::html_escape
def encodeTags

string_attributes = {}
  self.attributes.each do |each_name, each_attribute|
     if each_attribute.kind_of? String
        string_attributes[each_name] = 
ERB::Util::html_escape(each_attribute)
     end
  end
self.attributes = string_attributes

end
