  The WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) will remove HTML tags it doesn't like
(such as <FORM>) from existing web pages.  Also it does not like
complicated web pages with lots of nested tags.

  For editing pages such as those,  if you want a WYSIWYG editor, I
recommend editing the pages on your computer and then upload the
changes(*).

  Don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on
"submit" for your change to be saved.

(*)  You can get a free WYSIWYG editor from http://www.NVU.com/.
Or you can get a newer, free all-in-one web browswer that includes a
WYSIWYG editor from http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
(NVU is the source of seamonkey's editor, so they are very similar)

Open up the web page for edit, copy the source to your computer, edit
it, put it back, and save the changes.  This way, it gives drupal a
chance to warn you if someone else edited the page, while you had it
open.  If it's a new page, you can create the page on your computer,
and then upload the source.

In either case, be sure to change the edit mode to "Full HTML", click
on "Input format" to expand the menu, and then select "Full HTML".

If you need further help creating or editing a web page, send mail to
webmaster at arisia.org.
