ok... so i know html what i think is inside and out, but i am stuck.

on a webpage there is a submit box. you put a word in there, and when you goto another page, it uses that word for your name. you can put "bob" and on the next page, it says bob.

simple.

if i try to put html in the box, on the next page it will show the code. reason being.. it converts my < into a &lt; and my > into a &gt;

that sucks. i know there HAS to be a way around this, because some people have done it. their word will be bold, or a different font and so on.

anyone care to take a stab at thiss?

What are you using to accomplish this? Javascript? If we can get the code itself, that might help.

its in myspace. so i would assume javascript. it says html should work, but it wont.

Are there any spaces in your coding? It should definitely work. If it doesn't, trying contacting myspace directly.

no spaces. i think they have a code that blocks the < > tags, but there HAS to be some way around it. its been done.

I've used HTML with no problems on myspace, which is why I said you should probably contact them.
