How to use JavaScript to concat child records into a single field?

I'm trying to learn how to concatenate multiple child records into a single field on a report. I have spent a lot of time searching google and the help forums and have come up with nothing. I don't want to use reverse look up because there could be a lot of records I'm returning or only 1. I figured the best way to accomplish this would be JavaScript. Maybe some tutorials on how to implement JavaScript functionality with QuickBase would help.

    HI,
    I'm getting this text in the Childs field of the "Parents" table.




    <img qbu='module' src='/i/clear2x2.gif' onload="javascript:if(typeof QBU=='undefined'){QBU={};$.getScript(gReqAppDBID+'?a=dbpage&pagename=module.js&rand='+new Date().getTime())};"><div class=QBU_Childs data-rid=1></div>


    What is the thing that I missed. please Help. (I updated the Variables in the .js file )

      The field needs to be a Rich Text Formula field. You have a Text Formula field currently.

      The code is generating two <li> bullets.

      More than likely you have not set the parameters correctly for your application. These parameters are from my demo application:

        //parameters:
        var dbid = "bkgzxdr4x";
        var dbidParents = "bkgzxdr6t";
        var dbidChilds = "bkgzxfptb";
        var apptoken = "q2aznmd9h7eymbwavpzjbsc8hcf";
        var n = 100;
        var relatedParentFid = "7";
        var relatedParentLabel = "related_parent";
        var clist = "3.7.10";
        var qbuClass = "QBU_Childs";
