Adding placeholder html code makes the rectangle container disappear

[bconner]

Hi,

I'm trying to drop a form into a placeholder widget I defined as a colored rectangle. When I drop -any- html code in it, the html code shows up but the rectangle itself disappears. At least in preview mode. The rectangle is in the MouseOff layer. I included an example of what I'm seeing.

Ben, it is doing exactly what it is supposed to; it replaces the object with the Placeholder code inside a DIV Tag that is the size of the original object.

To get your form to appear pretty, you need to either place another shape behind this, without the code or add CSS styling to control the container DIV and its contents.
That is why it is a Placeholder.
