I'm a noob. Anyone get this working? I'm getting same result. I get string value back from asmx service but when I assign the DIV the value it displays exactly what was sent back and not HTML formatted.

Service:

<WebMethod()> _

Public Function GetStuff() As String

 Return "<div>This is some HTML <font size=10>HELP ME</font></div>"

End Function

Script:

function getstuff() {

...

xmlHttp.open('GET', url, true);

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

...

var result = xmlHttp.responseXML;

document.getElementById("stuff").innerHTML = result;

}

The BB div tag displays the exact HTML string as returned from the service and not formatted as you would expect. I've tried pulling the node value but I get null. I've tried responseTEXT with the same result.

I'm missing something stupid I know it....

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
 if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) 
 {
 var contentElement = document.getElementById("MidDiv);
 //Temporary fix until RIM works out issue with responseX
 };
...
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { 
   if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4)  { 
      var contentElement = document.getElementById("MidDiv"); 
      //Temporary fix 
      contentElement.innerHTML = processUpdate(xmlHttp.responseText);     
      blackberry.focus.setFocus('Select1'); 
      alert("station update received"); 
   } 
};
...

//Temporary method to parse responseText
function processUpdate(toProcess) {
   toProcess = toProcess.replace(/&lt;/g,"<").replace(/&gt;/g,">");
   var seperatedString = toProcess.split("~");
   // save the individual data segments
   var myAnswer = seperatedString[2];
   saveNewDataUpdate(seperatedString);
   return myAnswer;
}

Here is some of my code. 

I'm passing the entire responseText to processUpdate(). 

Then I'm replacing the placeholders for the  "<" and ">". In your web service, instead of < and > , you will need to use &lt;/g   and &gt;/g .

I'm then updating my div with the content from array position 2 while saving the rest of the array into a sqlite database.

Sorry, I mispoke in the above post.

On my web service side, I build the html string accordingly

i.e.    string test = "<div> .... </div>";

Then, on the device side I use the methods from the post above. I'm guessing the most important part will be the .replace(....) line in my processUpdate function.
