You cannot create a table inside a textarea in html, but you can import other programs like Microsoft Word... using ASP to be able to create table, inside Microsoft's word work area.

My guess is you want to make the cells of the "table" modifiable....

If this is the case do it the other way around ;)

Rather than a table in a text area, put various textareas in to the table.

something like....

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">X</textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">O</textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">X</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2"></textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">O</textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">X</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">O</textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2"></textarea>
</td>
<td>
<textarea cols="3" rows="2">X</textarea>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

He wants the table inside the textarea not the other way. As explained, it can't be done.

I am aware that this cannot be done. But if, for example you want to capture text fomat in a tabular layout this canbe done using the tags i wrote, and then handling each cellindividually.

So... rajpri, what is it that you need to use this for and i can tell you whether my markup is suited to you or not.
