HTML Editor instance displaying HTML tags in text

HTML Editor instance displaying HTML tags in text

I created DataAssist pages using a mySQLi connection, but the HTML Editor instance on the page is showing any HTML tags as text - so for example if I put in a couple of line breaks, it displays on the page as:

...end of paragraph.<br /> <br />Next paragraph...

Any idea what might be causing this?

Yes. I've added HTML Injection protection to the mySQLi recordsets so that HTML isn't displayed by default. However that can be overridden. Please attach your page to a reply and I can show you the line to replace.

Great thanks Ray, insert & update pages are attached.

The insert page is fine. The update page on line 124 has:

php:
$CKEditor_initialValue = "".($WADAFAQ_update->getColumnVal("Answer"))  ."";



If you have the latest version, I think the code should be:

php:
$CKEditor_initialValue = "".($WADAFAQ_update->getColumnVal("Answer",false))  ."";

I made that change but it's still including HTML tags in the text. I also tried the insert page and it's doing the same thing.

I meant to say I am using the latest Beta version 2.1.0

Try:

php:
$CKEditor_initialValue = "".($WADAFAQ_update->getColumnVal("Answer",true))  ."";



I've gone back and forth using true or false to disable html encoding, so your version might need true.

That didn't work either. Details in PM section.

Please post FTP access information and I'll take a look. I want to check the rsobj.php version you are using.
