XML inside textarea

2 New Member

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to web development so bare with me.

The html page that i've created isn't working and i can't figure out why. I'm guessing there are some rules that need to be followed when putting xml between the <textarea></textarea> tags. The textarea and the submit buttons are located inside <form> tags. When a button is pressed it calls a jsp page to do the processing needed. For some xml content it works nicely....for others i cant get to that jsp that handles processing. No errors are being generated so its making it difficult for me to catch. Here is the html generated (minus the xml):
