  I have the situation where html is being stored in a column in a database and pulled back to a Report Server report as data and dropped into a textbox control. Rather than rendering the html, in this case displaying an image, the report prints the html out as a string literal like this: " ".

  I understand from the digging I've done that this is by design but am looking for a work around and am running out of leads so I thought I'd put the question to all you smart fellers out there.

  I searched this forum and found a similar question from a few years ago but no answer.

  Thanks in advance,

  I found a solution for this problem. Call this javascript function from the body onload event:

  function HtmlReplace(){

  var divs=document.getElementsByTagName("DIV");

  for(var i=0;i<divs.length;i++){

  divs.innerHTML=unescapeHTML(divs.innerHTML);

  }

  }

  function unescapeHTML(s) {

  return s.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(/</g,' ');

  }
