Hello All, I found that <textarea> without enclosing tag will convert all html code as it is the text inside of textarea. That will happen if you click from source code browser back to normal view. Type the code in a source browser:
CODE BEFORE PROBLEM IN SOURCE BROWSER: ... <form name="test1"> <textarea> a b c d e f g h i j k l </textarea> </form> <form name="test2"> <input type="text" value="abc"> </form> ... Then if you enter new <textarea> after the first one without enclosing tag like: ADD TEXTAREA TAG WITHOUT ENCLOSING TAG: ... <form name="test1"> <textarea> a b c d e f g h i j k l </textarea> <!-- the next tag doesn't have enclosing tag --> <textarea> </form> <form name="test2"> <input type="text" value="abc"> </form> ... then go to "Normal" view it will damage your html code like this: GO TO NORMAL VIEW AND HAVE YOUR HTML CODE DAMAGED: ... <form name="test1"> <textarea> a b c d e f g h i j k l </textarea> <textarea> </form> <form name="test2"> <input type="text" value="abc"> </form> </body></html></textarea></form> </body></html> ... At first glance, it could be design intent, but on my opinion that's a bug. In DreamWeaver you will have the <textarea> tag without enclosing tag marked as erroneous (yellow and bold) and code afterwards won't be autoconverted to text. The workaround after the problem already happened is to cut'n'paste the code from textarea properties editor back into source code editor. Regards, Max. Mera Co. Software Support Engineer
