That's perfectly legal HTML content. The textarea validation essentially assumes text/html input and since W3C refuses to define how to tell HTML and non-HTML text/html content apart, I'm not sure there is much we can do to resolve this, other than not assuming text/html. The question would then be what to assume, if anything. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
