Comment (by paullee357):

 Yes, the server does have a lot of restrictions for inbound and outbound
 traffic. That is why I'm wondering what routine is being called out while
 typing inside the Custom HTML widget as it appears to be auto closing
 brackets, quotes etc and even does error checking if a bracket is not
 closed. So is one of the error checks to verify that an href is correctly
 formed or maybe even exists? If so would that make the check an external
 check for which we are currently blocking.
