Outlook 2007 html input tags content

[Guest]

In Outlook 2003 I was able to view the actual HTML email content for <input>
tags that had their 'value' parameter set, eg <input type='textbox'
value='fred'> and the value would appear in the actual textbox

However, since upgrading to Outlook 2007 this no longer happens. The email
message view (preview, Word as Editor and Outlook as editor) now replaces the
<input> tag with square brackets and the value is omitted so all that I see
are just open and closed square brackets where the input tags would have
appeared. The rest of the message appears as the HTML page was meant to be.

I've searched high and low for a setting within Outlook 2007 and Word 2007
to see if there is anything that suppresses/allows <input> tags in HTML
message content but can't find it.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Thanks for the information. It's a shame that quite a bit is unsupported,
perhaps things will change in the future.

Thanks also for the article hyperlink, it was really useful. The validator
will come in handy for any future CSS and HTML work that we do that requires
viewing within Word 2007.
