Odd behaviour with htmltext control

[Lee123]

Hi I've got an HTMLtext control that I'm populating with a formula

// turn each name into a line and look up the regions/location field in contacts for that name
Concat (
namesPickerEditIntsCombo.SelectedItems.Value, Value & " - " &
LookUp(TestContacts, Value = FullName).Notes & "<br>")

What I get is the result of the lookup, but the "Value & " - " &" is placed outside of the DIV tags in the HTML produced and is not rendered in the box. I want it to be rendered.

Any ideas?

Hi @Lee123 :

Could you tell me what the meaning of "outside of the DIV tags in the HTML produced and is not rendered in the box" is?Could you describe your problem in detail and provide a complete HTML code?

I've made a test but did not encounter any abnormalities:

According to the formula you provided

Concat (
namesPickerEditIntsCombo.SelectedItems.Value, Value & " - " &
LookUp(TestContacts, Value = FullName).Notes & "<br>")

, you should be able to get such a string

"name1-note1<br>name2-note2<br>name3-note3<br>".

I added a HtmlText control and set it's HtmlText property to:

"<div>Div1</div><div><p>Div2</p>name1-note1<br>name2-note2<br>name3-note3<br></div><div>Div3</div>"

Best Regards,
