I know this isn't directly FMPro related, but I have a text field in FMPro that loses all formatting when I put it in a browser if I use the <span> tag. When I use instant publishing, FMPro uses the <span> tag, but somehow breaks up the text with <br> whenever there is a line return. Is that being done through a script? How can I do that?

Using <textarea> keeps the formatting, but I want it to be read-only, which I don't think can be done in <textarea>. Is there a tag that will keep the formatting but will also make it read only?

Thanks for any help.

Formatting will be lost over the web unless the text has html cods embedded in it AND the field CDML tag has raw encoding selected ie., [FMP-Field: text, raw].
