Hello There,

 

I am facing a problem with the products's description. When I paste a product's description it looks all fine. There is a space between each paragraph. Once I save the updates and view the content, it is displayed as a single paragragh descring the product. ;)

 

Any suggestions ?

 

Thank you in advance.

Better way:

 

<p>yr paragraph in here</p>

 

Between </p> and <p> there will be white space.

 

<br> for a new line in the same paragraph

Hello "The_Bear", Hello Berkedam,

 

Thank you all for your usefull tips and prompt replies. It worked indeed. My problem now is that I have to insert around 120+ products and I have to put the description of all of them in the database. :( . Furthermore, each products descipriton has a couple of paragraphs.

 

As I am moving slowly towards PHP, and to make sure that I do not encounter the same problem in the future, I have created a small module which runs on MS Word to convert my text in such way that the desciprtion appears properly on the cart system (in terms of paragragh spacing) .

 

Just in case if someone would be interested to use it in the future:

============================================

MyCount = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count

 

For i = 1 To MyCount

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.Select

Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Extend:=wdExtend

 

If Selection.Text <> Chr(13) Then

Selection.TypeText ("<p>" & Selection.Text & "</p>")

Else

Selection.TypeText ("<p></p>")

End If

Next

 

=============================================

 

Thank you again for the help and I hope my input would be useful as well.

 

Regards :D
