I am setting a MySQL update page where a user is provided a HTML form to
update with data auto poulated from a MySQL database via PHP.
All the form element work except for TEXTAREA.
No matter what encoding I use (htmlspecial, htmlentities etc) I get the
browser displaying garbeld text.
Example:
MySQL data:
Headquartered in ABC Building in Anytown, Any Province, ABC Inc. employs
approximately 2,500 people and holds almost $9 billion in quality growth
assets. A fully integrated oil and gas company, ABC ranks second in
production and third in reserves relative to Canada's four other integrated
oil and gas companies and is the fourth-largest downstream retailer.
HTML TEXTAREA Source:

assets. A fully integrated oil and gas company, ABC ranks second in
production and third in reserves relative to Canada's four other integrated
oil and gas companies and is the fourth-largest downstream retailer.
TEXTAREA Data:

Or

I can't get the same results in Netscape 7 Mac or either Windows versions.
I will blame Microsoft unless there is some obscure encoding issue I can't
find. :^)
Thanks,
