HtmlArea help

[Patrick Casey]

 

            I'm trying to use the tacos htmlarea component. So far as I can
tell, it's downloaded and linked to my application properly. It runs fine,
the only problem is I don't get an HTML area out, I get a normal textarea
when it renders. No server side errors, no javascript console errors, just a
text area comes out.

 

            .application

<library id="htmlarea"
specification-path="/org/rz/htmlarea/htmlarea.library"/>

 

            What goes on my .html page

<span jwcid="@htmlarea:HtmlArea" value="ognl:object.instructions"  rows="8"
cols="80"/>

 

What actually comes out:

 

<textarea name="theArea" cols="80" rows="8" id="theArea">These are the
Survey &lt;b&gt;Instructions&lt;/b&gt;!</textarea>

 

In other words it looks like it's "failing safely" into a text area?  Fails
identically on fireFox 1.0.6 and IE.

 

Can anyone offer any enlightenment?
