why changing html tags to text?

How do I fix this issue:

HTML tags entered into the editor (not the Source window) are changed to text in the output. For example: If I type '<b>help</b>' in the editor, it is changed to '<help>'.

Deperate. Any help is appreciated.

RE: why changing html tags to text?

Thanks alfonsoml. I guess then my question becomes: Is there a way to force the main editor textarea to behave like the Source window and allow the inserting of HTML tags?

As I said: "You'll need to switch to source mode or write a plugin that inserts the html that you want. "

RE: why changing html tags to text?

I have the same problem with IE and asp pages. The source code in the editor shows the correct html tags, the text form shows the correct formatting - without html tags displayed as such. When I trap the sql insert / update command in the save to database page the 'querystring' shows the html tags - but the source code shows that it has already been converted to ascii type tags.

Has anybody found a fix for this since this makes the app. useless.

Oh dear, I don't understand about formatting on this forum!
If that whole reply is pasted in to an html editor it will display as the page was intended to.
Sorry about that.

Hmmm... even pasting the code has a glitch - there is an extraneous ";" after the flangy link which needs to come out of the closing </a> tag.
If anyone can post the reply to make it readable...

If you are in the design mode then you can't write html tags, it doesn't make sense.
You'll need to switch to source mode or write a plugin that inserts the html that you want.
