Hint - Redactor shows a blank page

[MyBrainIsFull]

Hope this helps someone.
An end user was entering a lesson's details into a string(1024)  
They saved the form, the field is a text box with Redactor allowing XHtml
When they then open this record it appears blank.

I gave the site supervisor two ways of editing the record, one as plain text and one as a redactor view (pretty html with bold and stuff)   The plain text showed a lot of html text.

The user had typed in maybe 2000 characters, so it was bigger than the 1024 I anticipated.

THE PROBLEM
They had an ordered list at the bottom like this below
<ol>
<li> blah </li>
<li> blah </li>
<li> blah

So with no closing </li></ol>   redactor could not show ANY text !

Img shows how I put an anchor to load a text only form ie no xhtml and no redactor.
normal form is UpdateLessonGraphic  and anchor calls form UpdateLessonTextOnly
