Dragen Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi, I'm trying to make sure that all my pages validate for xhtml transitional.. unfortunatly on one page I get this error see here This is because I have text areas with predifined text inside them. here's an example: <a href="http://www.gimppro.co.uk/" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.gimppro.co.uk/images/banners/Gimpltd_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Gimp Productions ~ www.gimppro.co.uk" width="200" height="33" /> </a> The problem is xhtml transitional declares that <a> tags can't be inside a textarea. Is there any way around this? thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/47953-solved-links-in-textarea-cause-errors-on-validation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragen Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 um.. okay, my databse seems to be temporarily offline, so all you'll get from my validation link is thte mysql error.. it was basically saying that the <a> tag is not allowed inside textarea.

We Must Design Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Try replacing all of the < with < and all of the > with > I think this might work.
