Text area within a text area?

[bshowalter]

I am unfortunately extremely new to html. Just got this kind of thrown on my desk about 2 weeks ago and had to even buy an "HTML in easy steps" book. Lucky me. Anyway, the code I have to 'tweak' is built in a textarea within a form. I want to add a text box using textarea but anytime I try to close my text box </textarea>, it closes out the text area that all the code is in, thereby putting anything underneath it on the form of the page and I can no longer edit the code. Is there anyway to put a textbox for users to enter comments when the coding is set up in a text area already? I really don't know if my question makes any sense but any ideas?

Try coding it as <\/textarea>

I think you need to rethink the concept. You can't imbed widgets within widgets.
