Wrapping the text in <![CDATA causes the CDATA to be interpreted literally and rendered along with the text.
setting the resultFormat to text makes it much more difficult to handle the text and distribute it to the appropriate display objects. Barring any easier solutions at this point it looks like stripping out the white space with AS is the only option. iko_knyphausen wrote: > Have you tried using CDATA around your text when retrieving from your > database? > > <![CDATA[ > > .... > > ]]> > > I use it to store HTML formatted text in a database and to retrieve it > back into any HTML capable control, such as rtfedit or textarea... even > a simple TEXT control as itemrenderer works with this method... > > HTH > > Iko > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "pdflibpilot" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I am trying to develop a method to allow web administrators to be able >> to edit text in their Flex application directly in the UI (without >> Flex).
