Best way: use xml export and xsl stylesheet.

Easier way:

make a calcfield ("<HTML><TITLE>" &External(WebToHMTL; title) & "</TITLE><BODY>" & External(WebToHMTL; bodytext) & "</BODY></HTML>",

export this field as tab-delimited text as C:tempexport.html

or Macintosh HD:temp:export.html.

Then rename this file with applescript, a WSH-Script or a Windows batch file.

Thanks for the suggestions, cjaeger, but I can't seem to get this to work. I don't think I was being clear enough.

I don't have a text field that I want to have appear in an HTML page. What I have is a text field that is already raw html code (with a bunch of javascript thrown in for good measure). If I simply copy the field contents, paste them into a text file, and save it with a .htm extension, then it runs fine from a browser window. But if I try to export the field contents, saving it as a tab-delimited text file with an .htm extension, it doesn't work. None of the line breaks in the code come out right, and it gets pretty wonky in general.

I'd like to use the xml export to accomplish this. Where can I get a style sheet? If I can't do that, can I still use the calcfield method? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dan
