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?

random1 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 hmm... does XHTML have an alternative to textarea that can contain HTML code that will validate correctly?
