MegaList - Testing Description Field
To test your megalist description field, use the example below.
If your description field matches the "After" example, then your megalist is working correctly.
Step 1) Make a new test item in your store or auction. Place the "Before" example into the description area.
(Be certain to title the item as a "test - do not bid" so that your customers know its for testing)
Step 2) View your megalist description.
Use your browser, and enter the megalist URL as the destination. Once the megalist page has loaded, select "view source" from your browser to see your fields. Carefully inspect the DESCRIPTION data. It should appear very similar to the "After" that is below.
Before:
<![CDATA[

After: (this is how the above description should appear on the megalist)
You are bidding on a flatscreen - color monitor by Hyundai Corporation. This monitor is in great shape and hardly used! Size: 20 X 20. Will accept credit cards, money order, check (dont send cash).
