html element issue

i'm having HTML problems. I assume that some update causes HTML Character Entities because I can not display any HTML Tag from database using WebAssist Recordset for example The <div> HTML document. <div> OR The <p> tag element. <p> OR <h1>Element</h1> etc . I Tested my content using php query and everything is fine but when I try to display content from database using WebAssist libraries I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR (<h1>Dynamic content</h1> )

The MySQLi recordset has built in cross site scripting protection, which automatically encodes html in case users have added it maliciously.

You can turn it off in the rsobj.php file, in your recordset code, or in your getColumnVal() method call. The way I usually do it is by adding the "false" argument to the getColumnVal() function like:

php:

<?php echo($Recordset->getColumnVal("columnname",false)); ?>

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
