I have figured it out.

rather than first child, i referenced it with an array. (newbie mistakes :-)

node.appendChild(xmlRichText.firstChild)

node.appendChild(xmlRichText.childnodes(0))

Programatically format a richtext field.

I am using Infopath 2003 with VBScript. I have a rich text field that I populate from an XML source.

Currently when I load it using .text method, the html formatting tags show up, rather than the actual formatting.

I found a few tutorials online, but they didnot help.

http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/how-set-rich-text-content-xhtml-control-using-vbscript-help-73846842.html

xhtml= "<myns xmlns="+ chr(34)+ "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"+chr(34)+">" +xhtml + "</myns>"
set xmlRichText=CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.5.0")
xmlRichText.async="false"
xmlRichText.loadXML(xhtml)
Set node= XDocument.DOM.documentElement.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:myRichText")
node.appendChild(xmlRichText.firstChild)

reason it didnot work - infopath 2003 doesnot have innerchild/firstchild method in jscript or vbscript

Is there way to format the rich text field with XHTML (using vbscript)?

thanks in advance
