[Rails-spinoffs] Re: script tags won't display in textarea box using ajax request.

[yuan yudistira]

Hi,

I think you should convert <script>blah </script>
into
&lt;script &gt; blah &lt;/script&gt;

If you use PHP,  use htmlspecialchars function

example :

<?php
$new = htmlspecialchars("<a href='test'>Test</a>", ENT_QUOTES);
echo $new; // &lt;a href=&#039;test&#039;&gt;Test&lt;/a&gt;
?>


Thanks

YUAN
