HTML in field doesn't display correctly with CDML

[tbeidler]

Apologies from the get go if I'm not describing this the best way but here you have it.

If I have html in a field, i.e. <a href="../index.htm">main page</a>, can I get it to display in a field using cdml as a link and not just a print out of the html?

The source code for a field looks like this;

Log Entry: <a href="../index.htm">main page</a>

Let me know if you need more info.

it depends on how you are trying to display it.. if you are trying to display it inside a form field then you can't display it as a link, it will display the html code you have there in the form field.

if you are just putting it on the HTML page then it should display correctly

It's not in a field. Here's my code (cdml);

<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size=1>[FMP-Field: webdev_log::entry, HTML] </font>

I've tried different parameters, i.e. raw, break and url. No difference. It keeps displaying as <a href "../index.htm>main page</a>

it worked for me when i used raw format.

also make sure that you have the "use smart quotes" turned off in the preferences for the databases.
