That's whacked! It's a textarea, so just use that! Are you trying to
get the textarea's form to submit over Ajax? Cuz that's pretty easy:
(in your <form> tag)
onsubmit="Element.show('spinner'); new
Ajax.Updater('parent_div_of_the_form', 'form_handler.php',
{asynchronous:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;"
I'm not at all clear why you would have a form element and then make
the form element itself editable with IPE. Form elements are editable
to begin with!
