HTML tags in database

[Amos King]

I put html tags in a longtext field in my database, but when I grab it
for the page it uses it as regualr text. How can I get the html tags
to be recognized?

You are probably escaping "<", ">" and "&". Just don't do that.

sure

<table>
<tr>
<td><%= post.body %></td>
</tr>
</table>

body may look like:

Hello, I'm a <a href="www.google.com">link</a>!

I want the html to be interpreted, but it is showing up as text in my
browser so link is not a link.

rhtml looks like:

<table>
<tr>
<td><%= post.body %></td>
</tr>
</table>

body may look like:

Hello, I'm a <a href="www.google.com">link</a>!

output:

Hello, I'm a <a href="www.google.com">link</a>!

I want the html to be interpreted, but it is showing up as text in my
browser so link is not a link.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this.

Thanks
