If you use this statement I think you will get what you are looking for. If you are trying to display this in the form, say in a rich text box, you will have to actually add the HTML as a child node under the rich text node.<br /><br />optionContent = thisXDocument.DOM.getElementsByTagName("option4")[0].InnerXml<br /><br />I hope this helps, good luck!https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/5712.aspxWed, 05 Jul 2006 17:22:46 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:5712epora0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/5712.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=5712Is there a simple way to preserve html formatting when passing a value using the DOM?<br /><br />optionContent = thisXDocument.DOM.getElementsByTagName("option4")[0].text<br /><br />Whenever I use the statement above, any font formatting, such as bolding, italisizing, and underlining, is stripped away and lost. <br /><br />The formatting is there however in the XML, which I can see in the InnerXml property in the following statement:<br /><br /><br />XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();<br />xmlDocument.LoadXml(thisXDocument.DOM.xml);<br /><br />string optionHTMLText = xmlDocument.FirstChild.NextSibling.NextSibling.NextSibling.InnerXml;<br /><br />Can anyone explain the reason for this and provide a remedy?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />~PGA
