Body
We are using the FreeTextBox 3.1.6 on an intranet. The control appears on an ASP.Net project built in Visual Studio 2008. When clients enter tabs in the text box, those tabs do not get preserved at postback. Rather, the tabs are lost. Other text formatting, like bold, italics, or font size are preserved. Even when the postback event that occurs on the web page does not save anything to a database we are loosing the tabs. According to <a href="http://wiki.freetextbox.com/default.aspx/FreeTextBoxWiki.Installation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://wiki.freetextbox.com/default.aspx/FreeTextBoxWiki.Installation</a> the JavaScript and XML used by FreeTextBox are stored in a dll. So I cannot edit the contents of those files. Has anyone encountered this issue with FreeTextBox? If so, how did you resolve it? Here is the behavior that occurs. Enter text with tabs in the FreeTextBox control. <a href="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4826/ftb1postcz4.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4826/ftb1postcz4.gif</a> Then select the "Save" button. This is a command button that posts back the page. In my test scenario nothing gets saved and loaded from a database. The FreeTextBox control is strictly displaying text that was posted. My guess is that the mechanism handling that is in ViewState, but I'm not sure about that. <a href="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/175/ftb2postbd6.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/175/ftb2postbd6.gif</a> As you can see, all of the tabs are gone. Even the tabs inserted between words are gone. Thanks for your help. Ken

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
