The thing is that using a textarea for code display is also problematic: (try: http://www.sam-i-am.com/misc/testsuite/html/code_in_textarea.html ) in Mozilla M17 (and NN6 PR2) (if you care about that...) There used to be the XMP tag - that would display its contents as is, so you didn't have to escape anything. But that's officially obsolete now: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32.html#xmp however it still works for me in (Win32) NN4.7, IE4, IE5, (Mac) IE4.5, IE5, NN4.5 (try: http://www.sam-i-am.com/misc/testsuite/html/xmp.html ) but *NOT* in Mozilla M17 / NN6. Poop. Anyone know of another equivalent element that will do the same job? meantime I use a little script I wrote for Homesite to escape my HTML for code listings. Its documented / and downloadable at http://www.sam-i-am.com/work/homesite/hs_escapehtml.html hth Sam
