This doesn't put *rendered* HTML in a field -- the HTML source of the URL is placed there, and it's up to you to decide if/how you want to parse it for links, etc. Doing this is definitely possible, but depending on the complexity of the HTML, it may or may not be a trivial job. Note for Rev/MC teams: I've seen the "Can I view HTML pages in Rev/MC?" questions come up time and again on the Rev and MC lists, and perhaps it's just me, but it seems that the answers given often skirt the intent of the original question. IMO, it would be more useful for new users to be told directly that Rev/MC does *not* provide an embedded Web browser, nor does it render HTML on its own. I believe it would be in your best interest as the creators of the tools to reference Rev/MC's ability to display *HTML source* and not the rendered HTML pages that folks see in a Web browser. Two cents...
