> It works great unless the content element contains HTML You don't say what you want the TextArea to actually display in this case. The HTML code that you show? Just "This is a link click here" as plain text? "This is a link click here" with "click here" being a working hyperlink? Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team

When you click and item on the grid, a text area is populated with the contents of one of the feed elements ("content") It works great unless the content element contains HTML: A sample content Atom element with HTML looks like this: <content type="xhtml">This is a link <a href="http://www.example.com <http://www.example.com> ">click here</a></content> This results in [object Object] appearing in the TextArea. Any ideas for what's wrong? Here is relevent application code code: <mx:DataGrid id="titleList" dataProvider="{atomUrl.lastResult.feed.entry}" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="title" headerText="Title" /> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="id" headerText="ID" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:TextArea id="content" width="100%" height="100%" htmlText="{titleList.selectedItem.content}"> </mx:TextArea>
