Adding HTML or Code Section

[itsnick]

I am trying to add a hidden <textarea>tag with one <div> in it to the individual pages I created through the web administration.  I cannot just add this html to the index.php file because each textarea contains different text for each page.

I tried going to the page in the admin and clicking on source and adding the HTML code.  When I did this it filters my <div> tag and left the <textarea> tag alone.

Also I tried adding a code section to the page, but it's not there when I go to view page source in my browser.

In short, I need to edit or add html to the individual pages and not sure on the correct way of doing this.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello.

please try a section of type "code" and put the following code in it:

Code:

echo '<div>';

This should do the trick.

Best Regards,

I don't understand exactly what you want to do. Is your page (or section) a WYSIWYG, Code, or Form type? If WYSIWYG, which WYSIWYG editor are you using? I tried to insert a TEXTAREA wrapped in a DIV in a WYSIWYG section using FCKEditor and it works fine.

Also, since the TEXTAREA tag is used for text, I don't believe you can put a DIV inside of the TEXTBOX without it being displayed as part of the text.

Normally, you would use a TEXTAREA tag in a form and not a WYSIWYG section.

Hi itsnick,

best solution will be if You get the code2-module (find it here). Install it in Your webserver and add a section of type code2.
Than choose html from the drop-down in admin-backend and insert Your html-code.

Thanks everyone for your replies,  the code2 module is working for my needs. 

Though this seems like overkill just to add a little html.

Thanks again

Hi itsnick,

I wonder what you want to achieve. <textarea> is a form element, you shouldn't use it anywhere else in html. Moreover, a <div> in a textarea does not make any sense at all, there simply is no such markup. Sounds to me like you need some help with basic html, no offence meant. And anyway, what Stefek suggested would be the simplest and absolutely working solution.
