This has been a problem for me ever since I started using wordpress almost 2 years ago. No matter what version I have running, the codes inside the text area box are always garbled after I publish, and forget about running two textarea boxes simultaneously. The first box is never closed correctly, forcing all content after the box tbe treated as if it were part of it… even completely separate posts fall prey to being included into the text box. Not only that, if I have certain code that needs to have a break in it, wordpress automatically adds a break, making it useless to my visitors.
I tried everything, converting forward and slashes into HTML code, putting them in DIV layers..
The only thing that works is putting the boxes into a separate HTML page and including it as an Iframe into my posts, which is a pain.
It seems like a simple thing to do, considering I have seen textareas be used in posts before without any problem. Does anyone know definitively how to put a text area into a wordpress post or page?
