CDATA appearing but not rendering as html...

Question

simple XML
<products>
    <product>
           <process>Preservation</process>
          <application>Crack Filling</application>
          <rank>100</rank>
          <productType>Viscosity Grade Asphalts</productType>
          <productName>AC-20 Asphalt Cement</productName>
          <suppliers><![CDATA[<a href="#">Indianapolis IN</a>,Des Moines IA,Laketon IN]]></suppliers>
          <pdf>AMI%202007%20AC-30,AC-20,AC-15,AC-10,AC-5,AC-25,AP-3,AP-5,OAF-1.pdf</pdf>
   </product>
</products>
in dataset
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("datasets/master.xml", "products/product", {sortOnLoad: "process", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending"});
ds1.setColumnType("suppliers", "html");
coming out in a repeat table
<tr spry:repeat="ds1" spry:odd="blue">
        <td>{process}</td>
        <td><a href="{pdf}">{productName}</a></td>
        <td>{application}</td>
        <td>{suppliers}</td>
</tr>
ISSUE
The {suppliers} info appears but none of it is rendered out as HTML. Isn't the columnType="html" suppose to eliminate this issue? From reading the board it seems that  people are talking about varying issues with different versions of SPRY. Any insight on what I should be doing different here? I have // xpath.js - version 0.7 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1

Answer 1

found, the issue - there was a section further down the XSLT file that needed the disable-output-escaping adding to (below is the original section) - once updated it worked like a charm - thanks
<xsl:template name="_LFtoBRloop">
    <xsl:param name="input" />
    <xsl:variable name="beforeText" select="substring-before($input, '&#xA;')" />
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="string-length($beforeText) = 0 and substring($input, 1, 1) != '&#xA;'">
        <xsl:value-of select="$input" />
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$beforeText" />
        <br />
        <xsl:call-template name="_LFtoBRloop">
          <xsl:with-param name="input" select="substring($input, string-length($beforeText)+2)" />
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
