# TextArea Problem, please help.

 * Hi, I am building custom admin panel for my themes on top of Option Framework.
   I run into a problem with TextArea, when I try to save a url inside a textarea
   it disappears. I can see it in the code (wp ads anchor tag:/) but it is not displayed.
   How can I use textarea in a way that it saves exactly the text that was typed
   in and displays it as is? I am struggling with this for days… please help!
 * // ups I think I have posted this in wrong forum, sorry…

 * If you need to put a URL or any other HTML inside a <textarea>, and you don’t
   want WordPress messing with it, simply encode the HTML… There’s many free “HTML
   encoders” out there. See `http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/DotNet/Tools/HTMLEncode/
   Encode.aspx`
