Format database Text - 3/11/2007 9:54:26
Not quite sure how to put this question!!
I have an access database on my website that provides questions and answers to site visitors.
I am trying to format the text in the answer to include bold, underline and coloured text.
When I put the formatting in the answer section of the database then display it on site you can see all the formatting tags while the text remains as plain text.
I changed the details in the database and told it to display the text as rich text but this did not work.
I am completely stumped as to how I can achieve this. Its probably something completely simple but I just can't find it!!
The site is designed and uploaded using Expression Web.
I have two pages to run the database.
The question page and the Answer page. A filter takes you to the selected record in the answer page.

Ya.
Items like <b> and <p class="item">.
I am trying to get it to refferance the HTML and display the information as requested.

Are you reading the data to the page with a details view or the datareader?

I'm using Details View to display the data.

I know logically the inline html should over ride anything else. But check and see if you have a template style applied to the details view.

Hi Mar0364
Here is the page and what it looks like.
http://www.hairways.ie/simsuport.aspx
Very early stages but you should get what I mean.
Its showing up the tags and not using the formating.
I have no templates emabled on the design and layout.

This is what I get.
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.

Glad to hear things are working out. If I'm ever in IE in know where my hair cut will be.
Expression s great once you learn to deal with the little things MS puts in all their products. (just to frustrate us)
