I temporarily installed it on a different web host, and it works just like it is supposed to, so there is definitely something with the current server. I have asked in the Joomla forum if joomla can be the one creating a conflict, but no one has answered yet.

Is there anything else I can check with our host, or something else I can check..? I would like to keep it on the current host, because I have private ssl and a high mysql security solutions there...

I FOUND IT!!! It was the security application that stripped the html, preventing xss attack

It is solved, which I am very happy about. Thanks for all input.

I have a stand-alone security application on the webserver that monitors all folders, files and mysql. And I just had to make an exeption for limesurvey

I see. I thought it was a certain PHP module like suhosin or mod_security, these often cause problems.

Currently I have disabled the XSS Filter security for the whole limesurvey directory, so that I don't have problems with the above. But I think this is actually not necessary.

I need to disable it only for the part where I edit the surveys in the backend, both questions and welcome/end settings, and the part that sends out emails.

If I would limit the xss disabling in our security application for just the directories that handles the above, which directories (or files?) would that be..?
