The formula in the cell(s) should not have anything to do with it. In the HTML code, it is nothing but simple text.
It's more likely something to do with the combination of javascript the HTML plus how the board and/or browser interprets it. It happens in Firefox (for me, at any rate) with any javascript links posted to the board, not just the HTML Maker examples in posts.
For example, take a look at this thread in the "test" forum and try some of the links there:
http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=232463
I had the same issues with links in that thread as I do with the HTML Maker posts. I just have no idea on how to test for or fix the issue--though admittedly I've never really researched it to date.

Kristy,
This is what I got when I clicked on a link in the sheet
Not Found
The requested URL /board2/Object_Group: was not found on this server.
Erik,
Table-it is the way to go , beats manually recording formula .

Do you have the NoScript extention installed in Firefox? You will get that 404 error when clicking on any javascript link if javascript is not enabled (as I learned on the thread I linked to in my last post when I had forgotten it was turned off). If the javascript is disabled, the browser thinks the link is from the same site--which is why you were getting a MrExcel 404.
For the HTML Maker, you would need to allow javascript from Colo's site (interq.or.jp), though doing so would not fix the issue with the formula not updating.

Kristy,
You are right , once I permitted Script for Mr Excel I was able to view formula using Firefox.
I was able to use both the scroll bit and also the link to see formula.
What did you mean by
The test I did was on this thread

Well, for me, it doesn't work. Even at home where I do not even have NoScript installed nor am I blocking anything that should affect it. Unless one of my extentions or a Greasemonkey script is affecting it somehow and in that case I have no idea. I've never bothered trying to find the cause of the issue before.
From my experience, I wasn't expecting the issue to fix for you completely from simply allowing the javascript but if it did, hooray!
