Firefox 4 on Windows 7/XP is not allowing user interaction with form elements that contain HTML coding. For instance, a textarea element whose content includes <h4>My Content</h4><br />
On a Mac, Firefox 4 was also dysfunctional and the "enter" key immediately submitted the form instead of adding a line if the cursor was placed inside content to start with, but on Windows it seems impossible to get the cursor inside the textarea content at all.
The "view source" of the form textarea element plus the content that our user entered is pasted below:
<textarea name="content" cols="120" rows="50">SEARCH TOOL NOT WORKING
TRY FIRST
Check for popup blockers; set for allow
Mac users may want to use Firefox if Safari does not work and not a popup problem.

p.s. I realize that the user content is somewhat confusing, and your web page interprets the HTML tags instead of displaying them explicitly...
The user content begins after the <textarea> element and includes HTML headers, breaks, etc. Other HTML content inside form elements gave similar results. Thanks!
