XML inside HTML textarea tags

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):

<html>
<head>
<title>DB Editor</title>
<link REL="stylesheet " Type="text/css" HREF="dbeditor_ style.css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFF F" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0 ">

</tr>
<tr><td class="rule1" colspan="2" height="1"><img src="images/blank.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0"></td>

</form>

</td></tr>

</td></tr>

Textarea Inside of a textarea

I am writing a small database utility to catalog all of my favorite ASM/JS/VBS... functions and scripts on an asp page. Everything is going smoothly except for one thing that I can't quite seem to think my way around. I am using a <textarea> to display the code but some of my scripts have <textarea> tags in them and when the </textarea> tag is entered, it closes my <textarea> and the rest of the code ends up outside of the textarea.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
