Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for the post! :)
1. When entering content into text boxes, do you have Text or HTML selected (there's an option on the top right above each text box to choose one or the other)? Here's how they work -
With "Text" selected, every time you hit the "Enter/Return" key in a text box the return character will be replaced with a <br> tag in the published page. This is done so your content stays properly formatted when published. For example, if you're breaking up paragraphs in the text box by hitting the "enter/return" key, those paragraphs will still appear properly broken up when published.
With "HTML" selected the return characters are not replaced with a <br> tag. The benefit of this option is people can enter HTML and format their HTML with return characters without having to worry about the return characters becoming <br> tags when published.
It looks like some users may be entering content in using "Text" mode and this is what's creating the <br> tags. If you're worried about the <br> tags you might want to use WYSIWYG editor instead for all of your text boxes, or when using a regular text box enter in your content using HTML mode.
2. When viewing htmlArea from our website, does it show up properly in the example? You can view the example here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/
htmlArea relies on JavaScript. It could be that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. From your browser menu go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Custom Level -> and scroll down until you read "Active Scripting". You'll want to make sure that "Active Scripting" is enabled. Once done, click OK.
I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions please feel free to let me know! :)
