It's probably because AB's techies have coded the box as an 'input' field, rather than as a 'textarea' or 'contenteditable' one. 

The default is for spell checking to be off in 'input' fields and line 1039 in the coding ( <input type=text spellcheck="false" placeholder="spellcheck=false"><br /> ) suggests that's what's happening here.

Chris, how did you do &lt; and &gt;?

Can I just type < and > ?

^^^ You seem to have done it!

<script type="text/javascript">alert('Hello world!');</script>

Interesting...

Sorry but I'm a total tech thicko, where should type:-

<input type=text spellcheck="false" placeholder="spellcheck=false"><br />

I also have another annoying issue. A window keeps coming up on my screen when on AB -
