[ale] [OT] Weird <META> Tag Problem

When I inspect the HTML of your document with the WebKit Web
Inspector, this is what I see:

"<meta name="viewport" content="width=320″
/&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;form action=" process.php"=""
method="post">"

That is, you have HTML encoded part of your HTML. This means the
mobile browser is not interpreting the HTML correctly (actually it
isn't _able_ to interpret the HTML).
