Rich text field showing html code

Question

I am an end user of Sharepoint. This issue only happens from my computer, not from any other within our organization. What happens is that when I edit an item in Sharepoint that contains a rich text field, HTML code is showing. Like so:

<div class=ExternalClassC900CFF4F2BF4312A89133C01A6E3C96> Some text</div>

This happens from any web browser. Sharepoint 2007 is used. I have Windows 7 x64.

Any idea what is causing this?

Answer 1

This is related to your browser.

Either you have some developer tools installed or something to that effect, or possibly, you could be on IE8.

If you are on IE8, try running the site in Compatibility Mode.  That should clear up the problem.

In the XSL editor add
disable-output-escaping="yes"

<xsl:value-of select="@Abstract" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
