Hi.

Just downloaded the editor and installed it on to a classified ad site I just put up.
Could not find the problem in the forum so here I am posting.

The script seems to be working fine and everything displays correctly as it should in the display window.

I submit the new ad and it is accepted. However, upon seeing the ad displayed, it does not show correctly.

The HTML tags are showing up as text instead of being recognized.

Appreciate and assistance.

Thanks!

I think I may have an answer, but still no solution as I don't know ASP.

This line seems to be the one printing out the item description:

<%=DoSpace(Server.HTMLEncode(rsMain2("col_desc")))%>

According to what I am reading about "HTMLEncode" it means:

The HTMLEncode method applies HTML encoding to a specified string.

So I am thinking since the text is already in HTML, the HTML tags are being ignored.

Should I change it to:

<%=DoSpace(response.write(rsMain2("col_desc")))%> ?

ASP gurus?

Thanks

Okay <%=DoSpace(response.write(rsMain2("col_desc")))%> worked fine!
