Thank you DrByte for pointing me in the right direction.

You are correct. The culprit is the

Code:

&lt;html&gt;

.

Not sure why all the other code appears when I use the "Reply with Quote" feature.

Ya, it probably is. But for the "html" tag to be treated as "SQLmop"seems odd. Nevertheless, at least it's unlikely that you'll be planning to keep all that demo text in your pages.

That's something on our end, which also peeks at the html and head stuff. But at least it's not throwing a 403 :)

Thanks again. You are right, the demo data will be removed when I get to the point ready to import my v154 database.

Host says the rule is disabled but no explanation of why I still receive it. It is probably best that I just drop the case before the fingerpointing or peeing contest begins.

I am also having the 403 error.
I have 2 EZ-Pages that give me that error without changing anything and just clicking UPDATE.
Both of these pages have been fine since 1 week ago. No other changes have been made.
The server folks say, You can let them know it's triggering an Apache mod_security alert due to the "content="text/html;" in the meta tag.

I hope this doesn't turn into a finger pointing game!

In my EZ-Pages content I had <html> at the beginning and </html> at the end.
When I removed these the problem is fixed.
I no longer get the 403 error.
Why would this cause a problem?
