Welcome to my blog. This is my first attempt at blogging, but I felt it was time. I spend my entire day learning how to be a SharePoint Developer one Google search at a time. Some of the excessive time is due to me, but most of it is due to the convoluted product that is Microsoft SharePoint.

I wanted to share some of my experiences with you in case you are having some of the same trials and tribulations I have had. I cannot say that I have all the answers or that some of the answers I do have even follow best practices, but hopefully they will help you.

I am still learning SharePoint and I do plan on pursuing the Microsoft Certification for SharePoint 2007 Application Development, so along the way I will share the things I have learned.

Thanks for stopping by.

Multi-Line Text Field Displays div Tag

I ran into this little annoyance today.

When adding a multi-line text field to a SharePoint list and manually adding the field to a display form, it shows the HTML tag.



It is a very simple fix.  I found it by creating a test list with a multi-line column and then viewing the source in SharePoint Designer.  The fix is to add a 'disable-output-escaping="yes"' to the '< value-of select="@Notes">' field.



After I discovered the fix, I did find this post as well from the SharePoint Designer Team Blog
SPD Team Blog on Using Disable Output Escaping In Data View

Hope this helps.
