HTML text in a datagrid

Hi All,

I am reading information in from a database, creating an XML file from the record(s) and using that information to fill a datagrid in my flash app. The problem is that the database info is stored with HTML tags, if I don't use CData, flash sees these as xml child nodes, so I get wrong/partial data. If I do use the CData method, I can get the text boxes on my form to render the HTML, but I can't get the datagrid to; it displays as:

"&lt;b&gt;Job Description&lt;/b&gt;" I have a function that can change it to "<b>Job Desctiption</b>" which the text boxes seem to like better, but I still can't get the datagrid to show it as "Job Description". I may just have to remove the tags all together...

Thanks in advance!
Corrie.

 
Data Grids don't have the ability to parse HTML tags. Sorry :-(
 
Perfect... at least now I can just get over it and move on.. ;)

Thanks!

Corrie.
