Hi,

I have a simple xml file with this structure.

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?\>  
\<content\>  
\<page name=“Page Name”\>  
\<text\>  
\<p\>This is line 1…\</p\>  
\<p\>This is line 2…\</p\>  
\<p\>This is line 3…etc\</p\>  
\</text\>  
\</page\>  
\</content\>

I can update a text field with the page name with - xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[0].attributes.name but I cannot get another text field to show the text content rendered as html.

The ‘render as html’ option is selected but the \<p\> tags don’t render as expected.

What am I doing wrong?? I’m thinking it’s something simple!
