 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to use this tool to create a standard contact form that works with
   my CRM.
 * It works fine up to this piece of code:
    `<textarea id="inf_custom_Comments" 
   class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_custom_Comments" rows="2" /></td>`
 * The on save it breaks the form code and splits the rest of the content into right
   hand part of the “Insert Custom Code dialog”
 * Any ideas on what might be causing it.

 * Hi aramshaw,
 * It seems you have an unclosed td over there, could that be the issue?

 * Matt,
 * After some more testing I notice that the form code is rendered correctly, i.
   e. what ever is messing up the admin page is resolved in the live site.
 * I don’t think it’s a missing td — here is the full code:
 *     ```
       <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="https://genroe.infusionsoft.com/app/form/process/5765a8d2ad3c574a6c7f8bd374b059d5" class="infusion-form" method="POST">
       	<input name="inf_form_xid" type="hidden" value="5765a8d2ad3c574a6c7f8bd374b059d5" />
       	<input name="inf_form_name" type="hidden" value="Contact Us - In-page use" />
       	<input name="infusionsoft_version" type="hidden" value="1.26.4.29" />
       	<table class="Request_form_table">
       		<tr>
       			<td style="width: 80px;">First Name*</td>
       			<td style="width: 200px;">
       			<input id="inf_field_FirstName" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_FirstName" type="text" /></td>
       			<td style="width: 80px;">Last Name*</td>
       			<td style="width: 200px;">
       			<input id="inf_field_LastName" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_LastName" type="text" /></td>
       		</tr>
       		<tr>
       			<td>Job Title</td>
       			<td>
       			<input id="inf_field_JobTitle" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_JobTitle" type="text" /></td>
       			<td>Company</td>
       			<td>
       			<input id="inf_field_Company" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_Company" type="text" /></td>
       		</tr>
       		<tr>
       			<td>Email*</td>
       			<td>
       			<input id="inf_field_Email" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_Email" type="text" /></td>
       			<td>Phone*</td>
       			<td>
       			<input id="inf_field_Email" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_field_Phone1" type="text" /></td>
       		</tr>
       		<tr>
       			<td>Subject</td>
       			<td>
       			<textarea id="inf_custom_Comments" class="infusion-field-input" name="inf_custom_Comments" rows="2">Please contact me about...</textarea></td>
       			<td></td>
       			<td>
       			<input class="FormSubmitButtom" name="submit" type="submit" value="Send Request" />
       			See our
       			<a href="http://www.genroe.com/static/privacy" title="Privacy Policy">
       			Privacy Policy</a></td>
       		</tr>
       	</table>
       </form>
       ```
   
 * It breaks in the admin section at:
    `</textarea>`
 * I think it’s probably because I’m nesting my </textarea> inside yours:
 * `<textarea name="insert-html" id="insert-html" cols="" rows="8" style="width:
   97%">`
 * Fix ideas?
 * Thanks.

 * Matt,
 * Actually some more testing later — the form is not working in the live site. 
   And I think this issue is very likely to be the `</textarea>` tag.

 * Yes, the admin area where we post HTML is in a </textarea> so he will need to
   tag it with an <div id=xx></textarea> before his real one to catch the right 
   one.??
