Hi all,
just created a website using the paypal template in asp runner. Everything works fine except when you post info in the full info section of the database, it appears on the site with the Html codes included.
For example if you posted the following in the database full info section:
New DVD of the summer blockbuster is out on monday.
It would appear as the following on the website:
<p>New DVD of the summer blockbuster is out on monday.</p>
Any ideas as to why this is happening & how to fix it?
Thanks.

Set 'View as' type of this field to 'HTML'.


Where do i make this change?
I have changed the setting in the admin area to "View Source" but i am unable to add formatting to the text (Bullet-points, bold etc). Is that what you are referring to?
Thanks.
