 * While editing a page, I am attempting to add a textarea. I have closed the textarea
   tag and it works fine on my page. When I go back to edit the page, the /textarea
   tag terminates the WYSIWYG editor textarea. Any known solution for this?

 * Unlikely. This is always going to be a problem with trying to put forms into 
   posts/pages. Best I can suggest would be to put your form code into a page template
   instead.

 * is there any code available to use that blocks wordpress from stripping out the
   information between the <textarea> and </textarea> tags?
