AppGini Community Forums

I have a problem. In my DB I have a text field where I want to put in some simple HTML tags and I want these to be saved as the text that I type. I make sure the Rich (HTML) Text Area check box is not checked in AppGini and I therefore expect whatever I type in the text edit box to be treated as text only. However, at runtime, if I type for example <br> this gets translated in the CR/LF as my record is saved and the field contents no longer contain the text "<br>". This a problem and a bug (IMHO). Would like to find a way to make AppGini not care about what I type into a Text field and not try to render things that might look like HTML tags. Any ideas?

Ahmad can you kindly help? Thank you very much.

Try typing <br> instead of <br>

Ahmad, thank you very much for your kind reply. <br> was just one example. the text box should not interpret any of the HTML. It should treat whatever we throw at it as pure text. Can this be arranged?

<br> seems to be the only one interpreted in the detail view as HTML. Others stay as code though they indeed get interpreted in the table view ... I'll try to set this behavior as an option that can be enabled/disabled in future releases.

Thanks much for that. In text mode I'd think that no HTML should be interpreted. You already have the Rich Text Format checkbox so I think the whole format RTF/HTML in tableview mode could be reserved for when you have selected RTF in AppGini. I personally don't think you need yet one more option setting for this. Simply fix Text to show only as Text and you'll be fine!

Any ideas when this issue could be fixed? Thanks much.
