I am constructing a student registration system. I have an field that shows a course section and all the meeting times, instructorrs, etc. This field contains the appropriate HTML tags. When in a "list" page, the field looks fine.
I am trying to populate a drop-down box with the contents of this field. A user will select a term, then a session, then the drop-down box will populate with all the class sections available for that session (i.e. it is dependent on the contents of the other drop-down boxes). The real field being selected is the class section KEY, but the field displayed in the HTML descrition.
Even though I mark the drop-down dox as "View as HTML", the actual HTML tags, etc. appear in the field, instead of the HTML-formatted field.
Please advise. THanks.

Jim,
you can not display formatted text in dropdown box.

I recommend you to use plain text field as Dispay field in your Lookup wizard.
