When displaying htmlentities like "{" inside a textarea, firefox treats
them different if they are between quotes or if they are alone. Two examples:

inside a textarea, this is displayed as a curly brace:
<tag atribute="value">&#123;TEMPLATE_VAR&#125;</tag>

inside a textarea, this is displayed as the curly brace keycode:
<tag atribute="&#123;TEMPLATE_VAR&#125;">text</tag>

I think that the right behavior is the first, converting keycodes in its
equivalents, well?

sorry about my english ;-)
