Oh OK. I had a problem a few days ago where an empty textarea was being output as <textarea /> rather than <textarea></textarea>. Firefox was then taking the rest of the page source and displaying it inside the textarea. Here's an example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>XHTML Test</title> </head> <body> <form action=""> <p> <textarea rows="7" cols="50" /> </p> </form> </body> </html> In Firefox (3.5.2 on Windows, in case it makes any difference), I see a textarea containing the closing p, form, body and html tags. I guess this is because I violated point C.3. in the guidelines you referenced. In my case I was using the ToscaWidgets textarea, which generated the minimised version. Thanks for the links - I won't worry so much about the XHTML in the future!
