I have an editor field with some HTML code in it. The HTML code consists of a form and one of the form fields is a text area.

When this code is added to the editor field, the Admin section of the module breaks completely. I have no idea why. This isn't caused by any other HTML form fields other than textarea.

Why is this happening and how can it be solved?

Thank you.

  • May I ask why you're trying to add a form to an editor field? This doesn't sound like a common practice.

  • @Sharky in order to allow users to modify the form code, like adding a CSS class for example.

Editor field is actually a <textarea> element with editor functionality added through JavaScript. So any HTML code inside it must be escaped. Without escaping, you end up with <textarea> element within <textarea> element which is invalid HTML.
