Hello,
Using LCD 7.0.041126.0

I have a little problem that I cannot find the answer to.
Basically I have a form with a drop-down populated from a database which when selection changes populates some textfields. These fields are Name, Address1, Address2, City, State & Zip.

I need to either be able to show/hide/remove Address1 & Address2 fields depending if they have data.

My intended workaround was to output the data using XHTML tags as a string but setting the textfield XHTML property does not seem to work. How can I output that string into a "Text Area" box instead?

Is there a way to encode a character to force a newline in a mult-line textbox? I currently see little chance around this issue.
Please help.

Thanks!

I changed a draw "text area" box to a field and the XHTML tagged text is now the label of the text field. Can I programmatically access the label text and use that instead?
