Product Description

[Guest]

The description of my products is more than 1 line and I'd like to be able to create line breaks and text effects like bold. Everything runs togeather. what code could I add so the description shows up the way I want it to?

What code? HTML code will do the trick...

the easiest way I found to get my text to do what I wanted without having to add code everytime I listed a description for a product was to install a WYSIWYG contribution. It allowed me to insert images, copy paste text exactly like it originally looked, etc.

 

very useful, just have to install it, but saves alot of time if entering alot of items.

It just shows the text I type in. It seems it doesn't read the html. this is when I add a new product

In your osCommerce admin, once you have set up a product category, then add the product, and when doing so, where it says 'Product Name' enter your html code e.g. <br>Product Name<br> etc. Vger

Just to clarify, do you mean that you have tried typing in html code in the description field and it shows the code, e.g. in the product page on your website it shows <b>text</b> instead of text?

 

I have never come across this problem before. It SHOULD read the code. I have all sorts of html in my product descriptions, tables, images, links etc and it shows fine.
