I'm having the same issue even without XPATH, I have a CDATA section in my XML
and the text field renders the text and the HTML tags without rendering HTML,
if I cut and paste the HTML to a string and set the text field to that it works
as expected. I've done this before and it worked,
Don't know if this helps, but for html, you set:
textArea.html = true;
then:
textArea.text = thestring;
,but for textField, you set:
textField.html = true;
then:
textField.htmlText = thestring;
But you probably knew that. I think that's really confusing the way
Macromedia coded that. Guess

Yes this is how I have been fixing the problem. Seems like a pain to
have to use both methods, rather than just using the xpath.

maybe I'm just dumb, but it's always information overload to me.

working? If so, can you send a

Why is it a workaround? Doesn't the XPath return the XMLNode? You can't
just use the regular toString-method of the XMLNode-object - that'll
return the wrong encoding. The
I was able to use xpath to return titlesome html/title then use
nodeValue on that.
but I *wish* i could just do /xmlnode/xmlnode/text() and cut nodeValue
out but i dont think its possible.

I haven't used this XPath-extension, but maybe I should check i out.
Morten, I'm not sure it returns the actual node - it might convert it to
another object instead because I too cannot get your suggestions to
work. Could you send an

Can you send me an actionscript example of how you did that? I'm not
even that far yet.
This returns undefined:
myNode = XPath.selectNodes(config_xml,config/welcome/introduction);
This works and returns the
string = XPath.selectNodes(my_xml, /path/to/nodes).nodeValue;
This results in undefined.

I've just gotten the libraries, and it is exactly as I expected.
selectNodes returns an Array of XMLNode-objects. Even the notion of
/text() is just to get the node,
Perfect, thanks for the help!

Sweet that works. thanks for the update! ;)
