HTML Text Area Problems

    I having trouble adding an HTML text area to a new page in WP. Every time I add the code for one on a page I get an orphan “end paragraph” code at the top of the text area. I don’t want this there.

    I need text areas in order to post code for my readers. Please advise.

    Thanks in advance,
    jawinn

    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:

    “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.

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

    thanks

    Maybe a plugin like this would help? http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/09/27/wordpress-plugin-code-autoescape/
