Data value may not appear in Design view if you format the data value to appear as rich text in FrontPage 2003 (833698)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003, when you format a data value to appear as rich text, the text may not appear when you view the page in Design view. For example, when you insert the following code in a Data View to render the HTML code as a rich text field, the title may not appear in Design view:
<xsl:value-of select="@Title" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if you format a data value to appear as rich text and both of the following conditions are true:
  • The data value that you format as rich text is part of a Data View that contains list items.
  • You change the layout of a Data View.
To change the layout of a Data View, click inside the Data View in Design view, and then click Style on the Data menu. Under HTML view styles, click a view style, and then click OK.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, undo the rich text formatting. To do so, click Code at the bottom of the document window to switch to Code view, and then delete the following code for the data value:
disable-output-escaping="yes"

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
