    bug [not a bug] EZ-page create fails when using <textarea>

    I am trying to create a form in an EZ page using the Zencart EZ pages tool, and the html code I enter is truncated just after a <textarea> tag when I click UPDATE to save the code. I have read posting from 2003 associated with the <textarea> not being supported at that time, but the module names have changed and I am not a coder, so I can not determine if I have a code problem or system bug. Can someone help me? Thanks

    <form name="feedback_form" action="cgi-bin/formMail.cgi" method="post">
    <p>
    <font size="2">&nbsp;Problems or suggestions?<br/>
    &nbsp;Your comments are appreciated.<br/>
    &nbsp;<br/>
    &nbsp;Fields indicated <font color="#FF0000">*</font> are required </font></p>
    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="356">
    <input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="[email protected]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Feedback from CropinStop website" />
    <input type="hidden" name="required" value="zipcode,fbsubject,feedback" />

    1. EZ-Pages was never designed to support embedded forms.
    2. formmail scripts are dangerously subject to abuse by bots both to spam "you" and to spam others as a relay for junkmail
    3. you'd be better-advised to design a new page as a custom form within Zen Cart. I wrote one and posted it to the forum for someone back in v1.2.x. The code is available here as an example for you to follow:

    Download and install the FCKEDITOR editor and you can do what you want.
