If you dnot want to allow the user to enter the html code in the textarea then you can use the PHP function [ strip_tags() ] to remove the thml tags from the text entered.

This function will also remove the javascript.

For some reason your use of backticks here prompted me to fix the problem I was having. Thanks!
