Good idea. I was creating a tutorial so I was trying to put it all in one
mxml file. I'll make a note of it. If someone is reading this and has to do
it like the code above you would just need to convert the less than
character like so:
htmlText="Posted in <a
href='event:{postsrepeater.currentitem.categories.catego...@name}'</a>"
Thanks Tracy
