Using preparse to view my channel entry problem.
As you can see on the images below, I have a template group with a DIV-Container template
Then on my Low Variables group I have a columns layout group and it has textcode laying out a 100%width column and within that column has a TARGET-CHANNEL-ENTRY var(Select-Entry)
I have use the PreParse method for the TARGET-CHANNEL-ENTRY shown on the DIV-Container template
I have 2 entries on that channel
As I render view this template, all I see are the numbers 1|2 1|2
I know this is just a quick skeleton sample w/out the html head and css3 links but I wanted to check that the output works before I do all the additional coding as im planning to add more column-width templates on my low variable column layout group.

The Select Entry variable type will output a pipe-separated list of entry IDs. So if you want to actually output the entry itself, you'll need to:
1. make sure the variable has early parsing enabled;
2. use the variable in a parameter for the channel:entries tag so that tag fetches the correct entry, eg. {exp:channel:entries entry_id="{my_select_entries_var}"}
Right now, I'm not exactly sure what the actual issue is.
