Student Problem Editing WIKI - Code instead of editing screen

I am sorry if this is a repeat of a previous issue...but I cannot find a solution on the forum. I simply may not being searching correctly. So I apologize if this is something that has been answered somewhere.

I have students attempting to edit a WIKI but when they select the WIKI editing button HTML code appears on the editing screen rather than the text for editing. They are both using IE 6 and the version of the WIKI is 2006092602. I have no problem editing and am using Firefox.

I know this may be a setting problem since I have 26 students and only two are haing this issue....soes anyone have any suggestions??

Thank you...

I am having a similar problem with a student right now. In addition to the code on the screen the editing toolbar is not visible. Is that the same in your situation? Some other people were working on a solution for us, but I have not heard back from them yet.

I believe that is correct...it has to be a setting in IE or something equally as simple i would think as everyone else is having no problems...

Thanks for replying...

Check your profile page and make sure that you have "Use HTML editor" chosen for your "When editing text:" option. This should bring back the easy format tools.
