random1 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 <form method="post"> <textarea name="page_content_editor" rows="20" cols="120"> <p>test content</p> </textarea> <br /> <input value="Update Content" name="button_update_content" type="submit"> </form> I have some code like the above that updates page content to a database in HTML format. I want my pages to validate but the validator I use complains about the <p>test content</p> bit being in the wrong place. Validator Message: Error: document type does not allow element "p" here Is there a way in HTML to make a section of text as being plaintext so this is not an issue?
