Netscape can't tell the difference between the tags that you think of as 'raw text', and the true tags that surround it.The solution is to look at how we implemented the PageEditor templates in TemplateEditor/EditPage.tmpl. WebCatalog can convert those characters like < and > to < and > so they don't confuse the

tag.  Basically you need to wrap [input]...[/input] around your data fields to prepare them for use in an input field in a form.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
