We have an app written in C# by a vendor. The app is several years old. The app has text boxes that the user fills in. As a user types into the text box suggestions appear below the box from a database. HTML code appears in the box if they try to choose one of the choices below. Code like "ble><tbody><tr><td>SMITH</td></tr></tbody></table>"

If this a common experience:
Is there a setting in Firefox to prevent this?
What is wrong with the C# app?
How can the code be fixed?
Why isn't this happening in IE?

Thanks for your help,
clueless

What fill-in boxes? What C# App?

If this is a question about an article then you need to post it in the forum at the bottom of the article. If this is a question about the CP site there's a Message Board for Site Suggestions and Bug Reports where this will get the attention it needs.
