I have existing content in RichText fields which I want to pull into an xPage. I’m currently using getItemValueString which, of course, strips all the formatting and also clips the text. Any way to keep the content in the RT fields intact?
thanks

I put a richtext control and tried:
return doc.getFirstItem(“WebPageContent”);
But nothing showed up, just the field name.

Just select the name of the rich text field on the Notes document in the Data tab of the rich text control.

I created a test xPage and did as you suggested and Bam! – the RT content shows up nicely! Thanks.
Here’s the rub, tho. I’m passing a sessionScope variable as an index to identify which Notes document to use as the content source. So I can’t do the binding in the same way as in the test page I set up.

Hey Howard
thanks for the leading questions. 
I was working on a response to your post and in that process of trying to explain myself, I figured it out.
The solution was in the ‘document id’ in the data source of the xPage. That was not defined. After adding some javascript to pull in the unid of the back end document into that field, the rest just worked! Many thanks!!
