I have a list in a SharePoint 2007 site with some rich text fields (type - 'Multiple lines of text'). Most users use the rich text editor and Internet Explorer to edit these fields.
When editing list items, most fields show rich text as expected. But a few list items instead show HTML code inside the rich text editor, for example:
<DIV><A href="http://foo/baz.pdf">Baz</A></DIV>
When viewing the list items, links and text appear as expected.
Why does the rich text editor sometimes show HTML code instead of rich text? What caused the problem? How can this be fixed?
