How to stop the editor from replacing < with <

I have some data driven elements which get nested inside of html. I need to be able to not have the FCK editor transform these tags. This is what it does:

<& mailfrom.contact_id &>

gets converted to:

&lt;&amp; mailfrom.contact_id &amp;&gt;

Is there a way to disable this from happening? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at fckconfig.js and http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x ... tectedTags

Thanks for the link. I'm not getting it to work so far, but I'll keep playing around with this idea. I've tried:

FCKConfig.ProtectedTags = '<&' ;

and

FCKConfig.ProtectedTags = '&' ;

The first one just replaces the tag like mentioned above and the second version just deletes the tags completely. It seems like it specifically looking for these & tags to replace them.

I figured it out!

This is what I added:

FCKConfig.ProtectedSource.Add( /<&[\s\S]*?&>/g ) ;   // ASP style server side code <&...&>
