XML to links in HTML

Question

I'm reading in some XML generated by Access. A node looks something like this:
<desc>
<div>Here is &lt;a href='https://example.com'>a useful link&lt;/a&gt; for you.</div>
</desc>
And when i put that into my textfield I end up with:
Here is <a href='https://example.com'>a useful link</a> for you.
I would like to have the links actually be hot links that show up blue and clickable. I'm sure it is some simple thing that I'm just missing.

Answer 1

Thanks Ned.
I'll see if I can do something with that. Actually my xml nodes look more like this:
<title>Some title here</title>
<desc>
<div>Here is &lt;a href='https://example.com'>a useful link&lt;/a&gt; for you.</div>
<div>&nbsp</div>
<div>Here is &lt;a href='https://example2.com'>another useful link&lt;/a&gt; for you.</div>
<div>And maybe a paragraph or two with bullets and all</div>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
</desc>
And so on. The links could appear in any part of those and there might be multiple links in a given node. Somehow I've got to find a way to do what you showed, but for all the content.
