Problem with TextArea and CkEditor

Hello,

I have a problem when i paste code with a textarea tag inside a ckeditor i cannot do anything.
It seems that the editor is confused and is treating the textarea tag as a ckeditor instance.

Is there any way to solve that?

Thank yo.

I think you are using this

<textarea name="mytextfield" rows="5"></textarea>

but you have to use htmlspecialchars for source

&lt;textarea name=&quot;mytextfield&quot; rows=&quot;5&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;

SOLUTION (I Think)

I used PHP's htmlspecialchars on the HTML that's in the editor. And it seems to work.

SAMPLE CODE

<textarea class="editor" cols="80" id="Editor" name="Editor" rows="10">
<?php echo htmlspecialchars( $HTMLToEditGoesHere ); ?>
</textarea>

Then this "editor" textarea is replaced by CKEditor.
