html in dynamic text

[clintob]

i didn't think this would be a difficult task, but for some reason i can't get
it working...

i've got a dynamic text field into which a .txt file is loaded. i set the
site up this way so the client could update the text whenever they choose, and
since they are comfortable with basic HTML formatting techniques, they want to
be able to add new text and links.

the problem is that whenever i try to add an <a href> tag into the dynamic
text file, it gets all screwy...the link works, but everything from that point
in the document on is "linked" as well!? it's actually not the entire space of
the text field either...only the blank space underneath the link that falls
between the first and last letter of the word. in other words, it looks like
this:

:: text field starts here ::
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text LINK text text text text text text te
.........
.........
.........
:: text field ends here ::

the dotted areas below the word LINK carry the same link as the word itself,
even though the <a> tag has been closed properly. what is going on? any help
i can get would be much appreciated!

nevermind! figured it out...adding an empty "p" and "/p" tag did the trick
