I have created a field in my form, that I am using to attach a pdf file in notes. When displayed on the web, the attachment only shows up in the bottom left hand corner as a generic attachment. I want it to show up in the body of the page, and be noticable as being a pdf document. How can I accomplish this?
TIA

Rich text attachments cannot display properly if you are using “Treat contents as HTML”. You need to redesign the form to use the Domino-provided HTML wrapper. You can still use custom HTML where you want – just mark it as Pasthru HTML using the Text menu. The Rich Text field, though, cannot be marked as passthru, or you’re back to the ol’ V2-style attachment again.
(I know – Domino’s a little bit different from everything else you’ve worked with. I did warn you, right?)

What you’re describing, is what happens if the rich text field containing the attachment is not on the web version of the form. Or possibly there is some issue with hide attributes within the rich text.
