I have placed the code from the left table into the form in the right table for people to be able to copy/cut and paste it and it does not appear correctly. What have I done wrong?
This is a very common mistake that people make and once you think about it, it makes sense why what you are putting inside a <textarea> <form> </textarea> </form> does not appear correctly. You are placing a textarea form inside a textarea form for copying code, you are causing the computer to read the opening and closing textarea and form tags prematurely. Therefore it is closing before it gets a chance to correctly read what is inside the form itself. Okay now you are asking yourself, "how do I work around this to get the form inside a form to appear correctly?".

<FORM> <TEXTAREA COLS="48" ROWS="5"> Place Material Here </TEXTAREA> </FORM> |
In order to have the correct HTML code appear, you must modify the form and textarea tags so they will be visible and not read prematurely. Just like when you want to have people view your HTML tags, you must do the same thing here. In other words, in order to see the below appear correctly "Inside" the textarea form:
|
<FORM> |
You must write it as below and place it inside the textarea form. <FORM> |
In reality, all you are doing is replacing the greater than > with > and less than < characters with <
To answer your next question, "Yes", when you view it inside the textarea as written above, it "Will" appear correctly. By doing it this way, you are working around the computer reading the tags prematurely. A
good rule of thumb to follow is if you are not sure, just write any HTML tag this way to avoid any possible unforeseen problems. You are now saying to yourself something like;
"......I have alot of stuff I need to do this with. I wonder if there an easier way instead of hand coding each individual little < and > for the code to appear correctly......"
To answer your question in a single word"Yes". We do have a "javascript" and a downloadable "Freeware" program that will do this for you. Just grab the below link and you are there.
