Hi guys

I can tab on the first line, but once I've entered some HTML code I can't tab any of it. Pressing tab simply does nothing.

Tabs work fine outside of HTML mode, I've been editing PHP scripts for days in Emacs with no trouble. I've tried it on the Emacs version on my own machine (Fedora 5) and the development machine (RH Enterprise 3) and they both act the same, so I don't think it is any configuration changes I've made. Possibly something Redhat do to Emacs?

Anyway come across this? I've a dead line for friday I'm am spending all my time trying to figure this stupid thing out. Emacs can be great, but sometimes it a piece of sh*t.
