RichTextField web rendering problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’m sorry if someone has asked this before, but I couldn’t find it.I’ve got a form for use on the web. There is a richtext field on the form. When I enter multiple lines (with newline, not wrap) and then open the document in read mode, there are an extra 4 or so lines inserted at the first newline… example

Form contains field A and Dis_A Both rich text fields, Dis_A is computed to the value of A.

the contents of the field are:

"Line One

Line Two

Line Three"

When I open the form back up in read mode, I get two different renderings of what is in RTF A.

Whichever field comes first on the form renders the following html:

"Line one





Line two

Line three"

which is incorrect, and the second of the RTFs renders:

"Line one

Line two

Line three"

Which is correct. and if I edit the document the text in the RTF is exactly as it was entered before saving.

Is this a bug in Domino? Am I missing something simple? Does anyone know of any reasonable work-arounds?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Does anyone know a solution to this problem () that works? The @ReplaceSubstring solution offered does not work.

Lotus, is this a known bug? Are there any plans to fix it?

Frustrated, confused, and wondering what to tell our clients.

Well, I can’t explain this but it works.

Do the following:

  1. Show a computed rt field when it’s not being edited.

  2. Do an @ReplaceSubstring(field;“
    ”;“”)

It displays correctly.

Best,

That would work in this case, but it isn’t really an ideal solution… if the user is entering html in the field and wants to specify their own
tags, this will cause problems… does anyone know of a solution to the actual problem?thanks
