 * I am trying to use the “Visual Editor” in Firefox, IE6, or Opera. I [see all of the HTML (See screenshot)](http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/401/wperroryb0.png)
   when I should not see it. This poses a problem because editors here use IE6 and/
   or Firefox and just publish content and articles using “Visual Editor”.
 * Is there a fix or a workaround for this?
 * This has happened on 4 different PC’s with firefox and opera with fresh installs.

 * One might theorize that you don’t have a full install of WordPress.
 * Have you tried re-uploading ALL files?

 * Yes, sorry, multiple installs on our servers for different domains, same thing
   all around. It seems to be in one of the sidebar widgets of the Manage -> Pages
   and Manage -> Posts, I commented each one out individually to see where it happens
   and the problem went away. I think its somewhere in either the post status or
   the Categories fields. Happens every few refreshes so im unsure which one

 * I’ve got it. I created a plugin a while ago and when its activated it causes 
   the problem. Now, I am not sure why because all it does is uses the add_action()
   hook to hook into the dbx_page_sidebar with my function that renders a basic 
   checkbox. Any tips as to why? I tried setting its priority but no success. Here
   is the code:
 *     ```
       function td_show_option() {
       	global $post;
       	$postid = $_GET['post'] ? $_GET['post'] : 0;
       	?>
       	<fieldset id="external_links" class="dbx-box">
       		<h3 class="dbx-handle">External Links</h3>
       		<em>For sidebar pages to link directly to external sites</em>
       		<div class="dbx-content">
       			<label for="external_link" class="selectit">
       			<input name="post_external" type="checkbox" id="post_external" value="1" <?php checked($post->post_external, '1'); ?>/>External Page</label>
       		</div>
       	</fieldset>
       <?php
       }
       ?>
       ```
