HTML formatting not working in Product Description

[kbradley]

In Zencart V1.3.9h
I am having trouble with formatting the product description in a grid.

I modified Admin/Catalog/Categories/Products and set the Text Editor to HTMLarea
I modified the first item under Products Description to show a 3-row 10-column description and it looks fine.
I Previewed and Updated it.
I went to the page at
http://vintagelocomotivesociety.com/...index&cPath=67
and the data is displayed text-only with no HTML formatting.

Am I missing something? Or what am I doing wrong?
Thankyou

The product listing pages do not use HTML formatting in the description. Because the description is commonly truncated for the listing, leaving HTML active would risk cutting off closing tags and damaging the whole page structure.

If you want to use HTML, search the forum for zen_clean_html to find instructions (editing two lines in a file). You must also set the description in Configuration > Product Listing to longer than you will ever use, like 2000, so that HTML tags will never be cut off.

Thanks for the help. It works perfectly now.
Now I have another problem.

I Installed Product Attribute Grid. I created two attributes for a product:
Product: Seat
Attributes : Adult or Child.
Values: $29.00 and $19.00

Please take a look at:
http://vintagelocomotivesociety.com/...roducts_id=183

Under "Please Choose" two checkboxes appear, named "Seat", attributes "Adult" and "Child"
with separate prices.

A grid does not appear. I followed the instructions for installing the files, and I am using the template "Bookshelf"

There are no errors but no grid. What am I doing wrong, or what am I missing?

Thankyou

I found the answer to my problem.
I have to select "GRID" in the dropdown in the attribute name section.
Thanks again
