That is my original design, however if the textarea contains the javascript, it will execute the Javascript in div as well.
in the following example, the popup will come out when we try to populate the textarea content into div. that's why I am looking other way to parse the content. e.g. <textarea cols="50" rows="5" id="content"> <a id="link" href="http://www.google.ca"; target="_new" border="2">test link</a> <img src="images/test.jpg" border="1" vspace="2" alt="test"> <script> alert("popup"); </script> </textarea> Thanks, On Nov 17, 12:01 pm, "Hector Virgen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can try assigning the value of the textarea to a hidden div.
