Hi Peter, The XMLSerializer closes all elements which leads to an unwanted result in case of textarea, script and some other elements that browsers can't handle when closed. You can make your own XSL that imports the cforms XSLs and override the template of the textarea. An other option is to use org.apache.cocoon.components.serializers.XHTMLSerializer. You may have to use the latest 2.1 branch code of this block, some issues have been fixed in the code the last few months.
