A solution to "An unexpected error has occurred" in WSS v3

By
Debugging SharePoint can be problematic at times, it does like to hide debugging information from you. The bain of my life recently has been “An unexpected error has occurred” with nothing written to log files, trace or the event log.

By
SharePoint Custom Form Shows HTML as Text on Lookup Fields   When creating a custom display form on SharePoint Designer, the form displays the actual HTML instead of rendering the HTML on the lookup columns. For example, see the below image: For the lookup value issue, you need to slightly modify the XSLT of the particular field from designer and add the attribute disable-output-escaping="yes" to the field.
