The problem is the page thinks your posting an HTML element, to avoid this you will need to convert the string so < and > for example get converted to HTMLEntities. See the following link for a quick and painless way to do this:

this might not work… in above case <b> or <i> or <font> tags does not work.

if you want “<sometext>” to be visible, then use .innerText instead of .innerHtml
