HTML problems in text fields
I seem to have a problem when I try putting HTML code in to a text field to give coloured bold headings or try to put hyperlinks into a text field, the modify record page all goes out out of whack, all other tags seem to work fine. Any way around this would be nice or an explanation as why it cant be done and keep the modify page?

It's best to put the formatting codes where the fields will display rather than trying to add them into the fields themselves.

For textareas you can add HTML coding and have it display correctly when displayed .. providing there are no html errors in your coding.

Putting them directly into the fields would cause your database to be much larger than necessary. Putting the formatting codes into sub html_record would also save many steps in the long run as the displays will always be consistent.

Hope this helps
