Hello guys,
I seemed not to be able to render my break tag within my string. I have spent countless times redeclareing my break tag such as <br />, putting my break tags in between my break tags. Such as this <br> some text </br> and double break with** <br><br>**. And also setting my textfield property to multline to true and rendering my textfield property to htmlText but no luck. So if you guys have any idea, whats going on in my code check it out!.
thanks abe
