DRW & HTML

[lefty]

I have a database that has html stored in a field with text from a rte.
I want to use the drw to pull the textarea or memo field but not in html.

ex. <p> this is a test </p>

want to change to ex. This is a test

something to do with htmlEncode?

You will have to strip the html tags out of the text area manually in the database, otherwise you
would have to write custom ASP/VBScript to do this each time the field is displayed.

In Design View, right-click on the field, choose Database Column Value
Properties and check the box that says: Column value contains HTML.

No kidding? That will strip the HTML?

If there is HTML in the field, that will prevent the tags from being
displayed in the results field. It will also allow hyperlinks in the field
to be clickable.

That's how I do this:

the database contains HTML tags.

I guess the real question is: Does the original poster want to hide the tags themselves from being
displayed or have the tags processed by the browser, i.e., <b>text</b> would display the word "text"
in a bold font?
