Guys, seriously it's a little frustrating that CL removes the "textarea" html tag.
This does not allow us to exchange html codes between CLers...I'm perhaps a novice at coding so is there any other way to generate a text box inside lovenotes and comments that would enable us to paste html code as text without it getting executed... Please let me know.


sys config: win xp 64, FF(latest version)

You could just mark it as <pre> (for pre-formatted text, shows every blank and line-break) or as <code>, both come in monospaced fonts, like courier.

Some signs you have to mask, especially the acuate brackets. Mask ">" with "&gt;" (greater than) and "<" with "&lt;" (lower than). If you have to mask large code-blocks there might be a free online service that does it for you.

Good luck! :)

EDIT: <pre> is a bit tricky in CL because when you make a line-break in your text, CL will show 2 line-breaks. One because of the features of <pre> and one because of the comment-feautures of CL. Anyway this shouldn't produce any problems for the code.

Very cool!

The <code> tags work perfectly with the mask!!! The <pre> tag does not word wrap so if i have a long line of html code it gives me a scrollbar with it :o)

Thanks so much Stefan! <3
