HTML Inside Data Table Control

Hi,

I have a data table control in a SharePoint form. It's bound to a standard text field.

In one of the columns I'm placing HTML to create a link in the format:

Some users see it fine all the time, some uses see only the HTML and some sometimes see one and then the other (screenshot below).

Any ideas what might be causing this rendering difference?

Thanks!

Hello @stevea,

Data Table doesn't render HTML in its content.

You can use List or Library control with custom formatting instead:

Thanks @Margo! I'll give that approach a go!

Best,

Hi,

Has this support for HTML been removed recently?

In the past week I have needed to update some JavaScript that is generating a data table from lists that exceed the list view threshold, and therefore are unable to use the list part.

Thank you,
Michelle

Hello @michelle.juers,

Actually this was a bug that we've recently fixed. If you need to display a link in a table view, the List or Library control is the best option.
