That's odd, since I tested it and it worked for me. Here's what I did (see
if you can replicate it):

I placed a list field and a button on a new stack, and then set the script
of the button to:

  on mouseUp
    put "<p><font color=" & quote & "#FF0000" & quote & \
      ">John Doe</font></p>" into tHTML
    set the htmlText of fld 1 to tHTML
  end mouseUp

And clicked the button, and it worked. Can you try this at your end?
