Text field code is deleted upon saving

Post by ComputerMedics » Wed Feb 20, 2008 4:25 pm

I have a page where I need to have the following code inserted into a page. The code allows a visitor to insert a key given to them by a technician, once entered by the user a small exe file is downloaded. It's worked well for us on a plain html site for years.


<form method="post" action="http://computermedicslive.com/cgi-bin/r ... /index.cgi">
<div align="center"><font color="#FF0000"><img src="images/step2.gif" width="150" height="23"><br>
<input type="text" name="key" size="20">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Start Session">
</font></div>
</form>

After I place it in the page and save it, all of the code above is removed except for the line:

<img src="http://computermedicslive.com/images/step2.gif" alt="" width="150" height="23" />

What do I need to do to get this to work?

The site is computermedicslive.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How are you inserting that code? Are you using a module? Try turning off any editors you may be running.

You've led me in the right direction. I've disabled the editor and can work directly with the code. Sometimes it's the simplest of things!
