Re: HTML Field
I agree to asawyer13. Placing a button for an additional field is not helpful idea.
May be I describe the problem from another point of view.
using a multiline Text fild gives you the possibility to show some infos to the user,
but if you choose html tags to format this info screen unfortunally the tags are shown.
Simple example:
foreach ($dataset as $used)
{Info}= {Info}.“start :”.$used [0]." end :".$used [1]."</br>";
Info is an multiline text field. The array dataset loaded in $used gives its start and end points to this text fild.
I order to make it easier to read a simple “</br>” tag is added.
Here is what will be shown:
start :2009-04-25 end :2009-05-23</br>start :2009-07-04 end :2009-07-18</br>start :2009-09-12
end :2009-10-03</br>start :2009-11-07 end :2009-11-14</br>
Does not look friendly to read.
But, what you can do is, use the Multiline Text field as a LABEL. Here the HTML tags will be tranlated and you can
format the text. BUT at the end, it does not help, because each SPACE you use starts a new line. I tested it with
replacing the SPACES withe underscore “_” an got this result:
start:_2009-04-25_end:_2009-05-23
start:_2009-07-04_end:_2009-07-18
start:_2009-09-12_end:_2009-10-03
start:_2009-11-07_end:_2009-11-14
start:_2009-07-18_end:_2009-08-01
start:_2009-09-05_end:_2009-09-12
a little bit better, but still not what it should be.
You get what you want, using the HTML-Editor field.
Everthing will be shown using HTML tags. But I did not
found a working switch for switching off the toolbars yet.
