Entering values into form fields

Hi
I want to create a couple of preformatted html links on an article page for readers to copy and past into their own pages or forums.
I created a text field for each link (a basic URL, an HTML link and a UBB Code link) and entered the correct artman placeholders but the formatting is going squiffy when published on a page.
This . . .
<input type="text" name="html" onFocus="this.select()" value='<a href="$url_thispage_ue$">$art_name$</a>'
turns to this . . .
<a href="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.difflock.com%2Fmagazine%2Fpublish%2Farticle_17.shtml">Testing</a>
Is there any way to stop it replacing the forward slashes, etc with other characters?

Hi Simon.
Thanks for posting!
The reason all those % symbols are coming in there is because of the _ue modifier on the url_thispage placeholder.
Basically, that’s URL encoding the value of that placeholder. What you’ll want to try here is just taking the modifier off so your code looks like this:
<input type="text" name="html" onFocus="this.select()" value='<a href="$url_thispage$">$art_name$</a>'
Give that a shot and let me know how you make out  .
