The screen
When i load a page (see example)
i have a bug in my textarea because i have the '<' character.
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<textarea name="textfield">sfqdsdsfdsfdsfwww</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Which is the bug in your textarea and which Mozilla build are you using?? I see
the default text "sfqdsdsfdsfdsfwww" as expected, but textarea has three rows
instead of one (even after specifying rows=1). If the latter issue is what you
mean, that's a dupe of bug 33654.

If you try with only one line, you have the same problem.
Example:
<textarea name="textfield" rows="3">wwwwww<ssssss</textarea>
I say that we can use textarea without '<' character but the problem is
that netscape 4 and internet explorer haven't the bug.

So the "<" is present in the source? Or _not_ present in the source but
displayed in the browser?

Parser.
The "<" is illegal there, by the way. You should be using <

Ok, so the '<' is illegal here. How can I then deal with, e.g. the block
administration page from a slashdot-like site, where I maintain HTML- and
Perl-Code? Does anyone have a proposal for that?

Frank, no matter what's decided here that site is using bad markup and should
fix it... so evangelize them. :)
This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Frank: use < or > in the textarea to achieve the effect you want.

Reopening. Although the markup itself is invalid, some other browsers can handle
it. Also, Mozilla can handle it when the markup is a comment or if it looks like
a real tag (the closing '>' is important).

Changing subject header to be more useful.
Note that I don't believe that Mozilla should support invalid markup, but it
could be all right in quirks mode.
