HTML Text Area Problems

If you are attempting to put an html form in your Page content, I recommend against it. Instead, create a Page template which incorporates the form, and assign that template to your Page.

If the textareas are for another reason (i.e. part of the content), try editing the Page with the rich text editor turned off (Users > Your Profile, Personal Options. Or under Options > Writing, temporarily disable the Formatting option ‘WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically.’

Thanks but this:

didn’t work for me. I need a simple way to have actual HTML code in wordpress without any extra HTML comments.

thanks
