glassfish Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) The pre tags: <pre></pre> get saved in the database like in the above shown example. Though, when reopening them within a textarea they stop working.For example: <pre><h1>The Headline</h1></pre> becomes:The Headlinewithin the textarea. The Questions:What happens here?How to solve it?

AndrewCarter Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Best thing is to convert the offending characters to HTML entities. Being inside 'pre' tags doesn't mean that the browser is no longer parsing your code as HTML, it has to look for the close tag after all!Try something like this: <pre><h1>Hello World</h1></pre> If you're using PHP, you can do something like this:echo '<pre>' . htmlentities('<h1>Hello World</h1>') . '</pre>'; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/291413-pre-tags-stop-working-when-reopening-within-textarea/#findComment-1493926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
