82466 - Inapproriate DIV element in TEXTAREA - Show All Tags mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 88036

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[rubydoo123]

in Show All Tags Mode a DIV element is displayed when there is default text for 
a textarea. Sample to use:

<form action="foo.html" method=post>
  <textarea name="textblock" rows="2" cols="26">TEXTAREA element</textarea>
</form>

I hope we can change to using Daniel's new ":before" strategy for showing the
icons in Show All tags mode. We would need a new rule like:
textarea  div {
  /* don't do whatever we do to show icon /*
}
to surpress showing the DIV (which actually exists? annonymous content?)

If that DIV is anonymous content, it should not be visible in the DOM when you
crawl from a parent to its list of children. I guess that the only easy way to
solve the problem is the CSS rule proposed by Charley. The other way, directly
in the style engine, is definitely cleaner and I think that a bug should be filed
about it.

I think that the DIV really exists in the tree and is an anonymous content.
TEXTAREA is semantically equivalent to a mailcomposer window so we need a block
container for everything inside...
The bug about ISINDEX is exactly equivalent. An ISINDEX _is_ a text inoput
field. I guess it is too an anonymous element.
