Question

i have this code here:

<label for='shenime'>Shenime nga Sherbimi per klientin:</label> <br/> <textarea name="shenime" id='shenime' cols=40 ><pre><?=htmlentities($row['shenime'])?></pre></textarea>

Now, inside the textarea, i don’t get the text only, formatted according to <pre> style but i get something like:

<pre>Text here </pre>

I want to assign overflow:visible to the pre tag.
Thanks

The <textarea> tag is an input, and as such doesn’t recognise any HTML inside of the <textarea> and </textarea> tags as HTML. It’s treated purely as text.

Simply put, what you’re trying to do isn’t possible because you can’t have other HTML elements inside the <textarea>.
