Belzar Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi everyone, I am trying to make a <textarea> with code inside of it on my website, like they have here, and I know I have seen it on other sites. When I do it on my site, it always just runs the code, it will not let me just have the code so I can show what certain codes are... Can anyone help me please?

Maybe link to the page in question, or post the HTML that you are using.As far as I can tell, you shouldn't have to do anything special to make code appear as code inside the textarea. The test page I did with some HTML insde the textarea tags worked...<html><body><textarea cols="50" rows="10"><table><tr><td>cell 1</td></tr></table><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--alert('hello');--></script></textarea></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to show this, cuz its a lil vulgar or bad, but the thing i want to be able to use this for is at http://droppingthebomb.com/ecards/######/pony2.htm when i put the code inside the box, it looked like it was just showing it as it would on the web page, but i didnt upload it to try cuz i didnt think it would work... it looked something like this:<textarea><font color='FF0066' size='7'>Don't mind me,<br><a href='http://droppingthebomb.com'><embed img src='http://droppingthebomb.com/gfx/tampon.jpg'></a><br>I'm riding the cotton pony.</font></textarea> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcifer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well, from that page, there isn't any textarea, so I can't see really what the issue is... The code you posted works fine for me when I save it as an HTML page and view it on my computer.If all else fails, then you can always replace the "<" and ">" with "<" and ">" and put the code insde another container, like DIV tags...
