Thread: Product summary in search results: HTML not rendering?

Hello,

I did what was explained by George in this thread ( http://forums.aspdotnetstorefront.co...ad.php?t=20697 ) and changed it from Description to Summary. It works great - the product summary shows up on my search results page now.

The only problem is that the HTML is showing up, it isn't being rendered properly.

For example, I see this:

<UL><LI>line item</LI></UL>

instead of the expected:

• line item

What in the world am I doing wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Beth

I am including my advanced search xml.config file (remove the .doc) and a screenshot of what I am seeing with the modification.

I have done a little rearranging of the standard search results but that is all merely aesthetic changes.

The html that is showing up ( <ul> and <li> ) are in the product summary field. Please note that even when I call the product description, the html shows up in plain text instead of being properly rendered.

I hope someone can help me, it seems it ought to be a simple thing I am missing.

Thanks much
Beth

Was your html converted to standard text? For example, the html code:

Code:

<ul></ul>

Was this converted to ?

Code:

<ul></ul>

No, the html works fine when I view the summary or description by looking in the categories (image attached; product category view). It's only when I try bringing the summary or description into the search results that I have problems.

Found the problem: in the example code from the other thread, the line used was:

<xsl:value-of select="$pDescription"/>

instead of:

<xsl:value-of select="$pDescription" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Was an easy fix once I finally figured it out...
