Hello all,

I've managed to narrow this down somewhat. I've also upgraded to PHPLib
7.2c

The problem occurs because one of the templates has JavaScript code.
There are calls to 'document.write()', and these seem to cause PHPLib to
parse the "&lt;"s and others into ASCII.

What is the recommended way to embed JavaScript in Templates?

Thanks,
