User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When viewing the source of a page, I get an odd error that only happens in
Firefox (MSIE and OPERA display source correctly)

firefox view-source:
      <td align="right" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><a
href="&lt;%=session("BMAL1URL")%&gt;" target="bio">view bio</a></td>


msie view-source:
      <td align="right" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><a 
href="&lt;%=session("BMAL1URL)%&gt; target="bio">view bio</a></td>

not the quote after the string BMAL1URL is missing 
as well as the quote after &gt;



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://mercury.aapm.org/memb/vote/05_elections/generatecode.asp
2. Click View -> Page Source


Actual Results:  
Note that the code is not accurately shown.

Expected Results:  
It should have shown the missing quotes.

Using firefox default theme.
