Using HTML in Product Name

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is it possible to use HTML in the product name field? When namng my products I'd like to be able to add line breaks within the name so I can decide when the text wraps to the next line when it is displayed on the "Featured Items" page.
Thanks in advance.

	No probelm. I use HTML all the time in names. Asp see the mark up as string nothing more. Chris

	Thanks Chris. After posting this question 2 months ago, I realized it was possible. What I didn't like about it though was that when the cursor hovers over a product who's title has html in it, the html code shows in the hover text. I'm not sure how others view this, but it didn't seem good to me. All I really wanted to do was add a <br> between two words so that I could control when the title wrapped to the next line. When I added the <br> to the title, it would show properly throughout the site, but would be visible when the cursor hovers over the product. Thanks for the follow up. I appreciate it.

	No, just the hover text that shows up when you hover over a product picture. For me it just displays whatever the title is (without html formatting).

	Because of the alt tag.

	Yep. I noticed it on your site as well. I don't think it's a big deal, just something I noticed. Have you had any comments about it on your site?

	No, But I could write something that would strip any html from string displayed in the alt tag. I just don't think it is that important. Chris
