Hi All,
Please help. We host numerous WSS sites on Win2003. One site author
wants the ability to paste/enter in formated html into a discussion.
For the column in question I have verified the 'Allow rich HTML text'
is checked to yes but the tags show in the disscussion text not
rendered. EXAMPLE <b>some text</b> shows up just like I typed it, not
in bold text. If I use the controls in the discussion text box to
format the text, it renders correctly. But thats not what is desired
nor insinuated by the check box for the collumn. I understand the
security concerns in allowing this....I just want to find out why its
not working.
WSS help reads:
When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later, Microsoft Windows
SharePoint Services provides convenient tools for formatting and
editing text. By default, rich HTML text is enabled for many columns
with multiple lines of text, allowing users to take advantage of
formatting tools such as font, font color, and background color. If
rich HTML text is turned off, site administrators and users belonging
to site groups with the Manage Lists right can turn on this feature.
When using other browsers, such as Netscape Navigator, you can also
enter rich text formatting by using HTML tags. For example, you can
use the <b> </b> tags to apply boldface to text, as in <b>bold</b>.
When viewing the page, users will see the proper rich text formatting,
such as bold. You can use other HTML tags such as <a href>link</a> for
adding hyperlinks. For more information about HTML tags, consult an
HTML language reference.
Notes
For security reasons, Windows SharePoint Services blocks certain HTML
tags and scripting.
Windows SharePoint Services wraps text within <div></div> tags to
prevent double-spacing. When editing content, enter text between the
<div> and </div> tags.
Any help is much appreciated!!!
