</div>

for some reason the variables being passed by the following script

loadVariablesNum("/cgi-bin/cgiemail/contact/contact.cgi", 0, “POST”);

are adding html tags around the input text… so when they are forwarded to my e-mail - I get these extra html tags around each input text item… Any idea why or how to get rid of them?

\<TEXTFORMAT LEADING=“2”\>\<P ALIGN=“LEFT”\>\<FONT  
FACE="\_sans" SIZE=“12” COLOR="#000000"  
LETTERSPACING=“0” KERNING=“0”\>input text\</FONT\>\</P\>\</TEXTFORMAT\>
