PowerFX + HTML Trouble

I'm trying to generate an HTML table dynamically using PowerFX inside Power Pages.

The formula builds valid HTML, but Power Pages renders it as plain text instead of displaying the table.

Here is an example of the formula:

fx="<table style='border-collapse:collapse;' border='1'><tr><th>Name</th><th>Surname</th></tr>" &
Concat(
FirstN(Contacts, 3),
"<tr><td>" & Name & "</td><td>" & Surname & "</td></tr>"
) &
"</table>"

Instead of showing the table, Power Pages prints the literal HTML code on the page.

Is there a reliable way to generate and render dynamic HTML using PowerFX in Power Pages, or is this currently not supported?

Thanks.

HI @Ismael_Novo

That is correct behavior, right now it's not supported to essentially stream that generated HTML, at least not from PowerFX.

If it would be ok, can you just give a super small use case for what you are generating? I am just wondering if templates would work.

Web templates | Microsoft Learn

You could also build a component

Use code components in Power Pages | Microsoft Learn

Possibly the others have a specific example

And then some freeware/free ones

Thanks Michael. I’ve been waiting for years for the “PowerApps magic” to fully land in Power Pages. What I’m aiming for is a way to work 100% with low-code and leave JavaScript behind whenever possible. If Power Pages ever supports rendering raw HTML produced from PowerFX natively, it would unlock a completely unified workflow.

For now I’m exploring templates and PCF components, but several people not move here until PowerFX-driven magic is comming.

Thanks!

HI @Ismael_Novo

Totally get that :-) I wish I could suggest a better option or more specifically how to do what you want in the way you want it, apologies I can't :-(
