    in HTML?
    you could probably get away with javascript. no..wait - you still need the <script> tag.

    If you can't use "<" or ">" then try using

    "&lt;" or "&gt;"...

    Why wouldn't you be able to use the "<" or ">" tags? Unless your were trying to use html someplace where for security purposes someone is stripping the tags so that you can't use html...

    You can use &lt; and &gt;, but the tags are being stripped before the web browser sees it. So you can't submit a tag, just <img scr=yadda.gif>.

    Mmm... are the tags being stripped, or is everything you submit just quoted? Maybe you could end their quote tag.

    I dunno. I'd have to play with their system.

    They ar used to display special chars

    & amp; - displays the ampersand (&)
    & lt; - Less than sign
    & gt; - Greater than sign
    & quot; - Double quote sign
    & nbsp - &nbsp; - non breaking space
    & copy - &copy; - (c) symbol
    & pound - &pound;
    & yen - &yen;
    & reg - &reg;
    & deg - &deg; - degree symbol
    & plmn; - +/- symbol
    & sup2 - &sup2; - square symbol
    & sup3 - &sup3; - cube symbol

    Remove the spaces after '&' to make them work

    There are lots.. but i remeber just these

    Your browser will be able to read the plain text version. Its inefficient but it works...

    Ehh, who knows? Probably they have to consider the possibility that some old browsers can't read tables. but I don't know.
