  Hi,

  Seems like the HTML option when editing pages or posts is now not working. When I hover over the HTML tab, beside the ‘visual’ tab, it doesn’t take me there. Any ideas? I’m fairly competent with web design and for the life of me can’t figure why it won’t change to HTML. I want to put some code in! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Many thanks,
  Nicol

  Are you just hovering over it or are you clicking on the tab?

  I can’t get the html to work either. I’m trying to format a post and can’t add breaks or arrange images and text. Is this an ongoing problem?

  Working fine for me.

  Try logging out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again.

  @eldonwarren – the site referenced in your name does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM – and might not even be a WordPress anything.

  Cleared cache, tried on several computers and still problems. This has been going on for a while and I’m ready to dump Word Press.

  @the sacred path. Yes, of course I clicked it.

  Thanks for the input guys. The problem seems to have resolved itself. Not sure why it wasn’t working…

  @elden warren. Don’t dump it quite yet. I’ve made sites with wordpress.org as well and the HTML editor in there definitely works. Plus the ability to change CSS is awesome. (but if you fancy easy ad nice looking flash site, try wix.com)

  I’m getting annoyed by this as well. Simple code I’ve used forever:

  <span style=”font-family:comic sans ms;font-size:x-small;”> isn’t working at all.

  I’ve used it for years. Now I can’t.

  Help?

  @faithspeaksinc, we need a link to the blog you are talking about, and have you tried my suggestion above about cache and cookies?

  Also, what browser and browser version are you using?

  On other note, with CSS or inline CSS anything that has spaces in it has to be surrounded with double quotes such as this:

  <span style=”font-family:"comic sans ms";font-size:x-small;”>
