Custom HTML Module - changing image code - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi all,

am new joomla - have read through beginner guides , when think i'm starting handle on it, things start go awry.

running joomla 3.0, mucking around prostar template, , using custom html module. working fine while, when save module, joomla screws html code defined in custom output window. original default module there on install failing.

here's happening:
0. start with, images displaying per install fine.
1. copied default module "image module", new name of "image module me"
2. set menus original module displays in default menu, , new 1 in test menu
3. somewhere along line images stoped displaying (showing broken image link) both default image module , copy.
4. when @ image module, can see html has been changed.
5. reset html reinserting image, generates following html:
<p><img src="images/headers/walden-pond.jpg" /></p>
- note image appears fine in admin editor @ point
6. save module
7. click on custom output - lo , behold i've got broken image link. when check out html can see following:
<p><img src="\&quot;images/headers/walden-pond.jpg\&quot;" /></p>

i thought might have duffed things making copy of original module have unpublished it, no luck.

anyone have idea why platform modifying code (and why of sudden started doing it)?

thanks, danny.

an update: have found problem happening wherever edit files using editor provided within joomla (set tinymce in global configuration).

i made changes template.css, , looks platform has done number of things file:
1. made substitutions of " \\\\\" above, and
2. changing cr @ end of line crlf

all of has hosed template. i've had settings control editor doing code cannot find settings.

suggestions?

thanks, danny.
