The htmlText in the TextArea control supports only a limited number of HTML tags; take a look at this blog post for more info: http://devharbor.blogspot.com/2008/12/display-html-file-in-flex-textarea.html
I don't think the <ul> tag is supported; nor can it be nested. To create lists, you simply use the <li> tag. - Alex --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "ilikeflex" <ilikef...@...> wrote: > > Hi > > I want to have this kind of look > http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_nestedlists2 > > I made the following in TextArea > > <mx:TextArea id="txtAccounts" editable="false" borderThickness="1" > condenseWhite="true" width="100%" height="100%" > > <mx:htmlText> > <![CDATA[ > <ul> > <li>Coffee</li> > <li>Tea</li> > <ul> > <li>Black tea</li> > <li>Green tea</li> > <ul> > <li>China</li> > <li>Africa</li> > </ul> > </ul> > <li>Milk</li> > </ul> > ]]> > </mx:htmlText> > </mx:TextArea> > > But i do not get the desired result. > > Any pointers. > > Thanks > ilikeflex >
