Textarea Tag issue - Everything after will not display!

Hi

I have an issue with textarea in a form. I find that when I place a textarea in a form that all the rows after it will not display after I have saved the page (the undisplayed rows ARE there in the saved source page when I look at the page directly). If I remove the row with the textarea tag in then the row IS displayed!

Here is a simple example I am using on an out of the box CKEditor 3.1 installation.

<form action="contact_email.asp" id="ContactForm" method="post" name="ContactForm">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
Name:</td>
<td>
<input name="clientName" style="width: 250px" type="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
A brief description of your requirements:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<textarea cols="47" id="clientRequirements" name="clientRequirements" rows="10"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Boo! This row and text is saved however does not get displayed when page reloads. So if I save the page again I lose this row. However it does show if I remove the textarea tag! above</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

Re: Textarea Tag issue - Everything after will not display!

Since you are placing the text area within a text area(ck editor) the contents after the first text area is displayed just below the editor.Inorder to avoid this ,replace greater than and lesser than symbol in the textarea tag with lg; and gl; respectively. eg <textarea> as lg;textarea gl;
