I am experiencing a problem with tinymce and a new install of cmsbuilder

I have a wysiwig content area. When I style the text with tinymce instead of displaying the text in the correct style it wraps it in a tag and displays the tag itself. For example instead of changing text to display as a list it leaves the text unstyled but with <ul><li> at the begining and </li></ul> at the end of the text. Screen shot attached

Any ideas?

I have tried a reinstall of the cms and have deleted tiny_mce_cache...gz in the cms Data file

Thanks

Jeff

Well, without seeing the code that is used to display this field, it is hard to make a precise diagnosis, but one thing stands out in the text that could cause it to render wrong ... there are a lot of quotes and apostrophes in the text and you have a quote instead of an apostrophe in the word .... Devon"s leading suppliers.  If I had to troubleshoot this, I would add the text one line at a time until it  breaks.

I'm guessing that its an issue in your code.  Check and see if your code to display the content is written like this:

<?php echo htmlencode($detailRecord['content']) ?>

If htmlencode is present, remove it and display the php code like this:

<?php echo $detailRecord['content']; ?>

That will get rid of all the html markup.

Thanks northernpenguin - that's it!
