Question

I am getting this html string returned via a web service call.

I am having trouble displaying the html probably because of the odd format (notice how the opening brackets “< head >” show up as ‘&lt ; head &gt ;’ instead)

This is my truncated html formatted response.

What I am trying to do is display this html page on a form. But I am even having trouble getting it to open when I write the string to a file.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;......
...html......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</string>

Thanks for your input. This is what worked for me.

 uses
 HTTPApp

 var 
 HtmlXmlText : String;

 HtmlText := HTMLDecode(HtmlXmlText);

I used HTMLDecode to clean up the odd characters to the standard formatting.
