Here's what I have:</p> <pre><code>add_filter(&quot;gform_allowable_tags_1&quot;, &quot;allow_basic_tags&quot;); function allow_basic_tags($allowable_tags){ return &#39;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&#39;; } add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_inquiry_list&#39;, &#39;populate_inquiry_list&#39;); function populate_inquiry_list($value) { if(function_exists(&#39;upb_list_bookmarks&#39;) &amp;&amp; is_user_logged_in()) { return htmlspecialchars(upb_list_bookmarks($delete_link=false),ENT_QUOTES); } }</code></pre> <p>So - I'm allowing the ul,li and a tags in the form (with a form ID of 1) and am then adding in that function -- but same result. Is a priority needed, or can you see anything else in the way? Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-html-via-hidden-value-field#post-58903 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:02:04 +0000 yellowhousedesign 58903@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, really appreciate it! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-html-via-hidden-value-field#post-58900 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:56:43 +0000 David Peralty 58900@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I was asking around to see if any of the developers have any ideas. It looks like HTML is stripped for security reasons, but you can use a hook to help re-enable the use of tags. </p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_allowable_tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_allowable_tags</a></p> <p>If you return true, it will allow all tags. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-html-via-hidden-value-field#post-58891 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:19:12 +0000 yellowhousedesign 58891@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Just a little more clarification. Here is the physical HTML output I get when using htmlspecialchars: <a href="http://pastebin.com/ySuR1xAS" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ySuR1xAS</a></p> <p>So I'm thinking the actual HTML should be fine to store/send. When I try to send this data though, I get the following:</p> <p>----------<br /> 403 Forbidden<br /> You don't have permission to access /wordpress/product-inquiry/ on this server.<br /> Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.<br /> ----------</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More specifically, I'm using <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/user-bookmarks-for-wordpress/544129" rel="nofollow">http://codecanyon.net/item/user-bookmarks-for-wordpress/544129</a> to store the list of bookmarks. Let me know if that clarifies things or if I'm just making things more difficult :) Thanks. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-html-via-hidden-value-field#post-58689 Fri, 11 May 2012 12:08:54 +0000 David Peralty 58689@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you show me your functions.php code? The issue is that we are trying to put HTML inside HTML and of course it is breaking, but we should be able to change it so that it works, but I'm not exactly sure how yet as it is being outputted by another function/plugin. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/passing-html-via-hidden-value-field#post-58683 Fri, 11 May 2012 11:57:19 +0000 yellowhousedesign 58683@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David,<br /> Thanks for the link - unfortunately, nothing changed with that. This is what the output looks like (of that function):</p> <p><code>&lt;ul class=&quot;upb-bookmarks-list&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;upb_bookmark bookmark-273&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yhmags.com/wordpress/moulding-profiles/profile-1/&quot; class=&quot;upb_bookmark_link&quot; title=&quot;Profile 1&quot;&gt;Profile 1&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;upb_del_bookmark upb_del_bookmark_273&quot; rel=&quot;273&quot; title=&quot;Remove this Bookmark&quot;&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</code> </p>
