Textarea box problem on myspace?

If it is in a blog, then do the whole

%26lt;textarea%26gt;

%26lt;/textarea%26gt;

and then save the blog. then when you view it there should be an empty box, but there may be some random text in it.

You then go to edit the blog and in the actual place where you edit the blog there'll be a box rather than the textarea tags. Remove any text if there is some, and then paste your codes.

Now, you might be having a problem I often have when all line breaks disappear when you edit the blog again. The only solution to this is that you don't continually edit the same blog. If you have screenshots of your layouts then put the code in a blog of its own and have a link to that blog under the screenshot, same with all your other layouts on the page. BUT your codes should still be okay and work if they're scrunched up.

HTML and CSS also get scrunched up if you do it in a textarea on a profile (if your site provides live previews, but this does mean setting up numerous myspace accounts), but it still shouldn't effect your coding.

My final solution, and probably most useful, is that you get an account on mylayouthost.com. It's easy, free, MySpace layout preview. However, I do not use it for live previews for layouts on MySpace because it doesn't always look that same as it does on a proper MySpace (due to myspace continually changing it's html and css values) of the coding (Like if i use a code to make the top navy bit white, it is still navy on there) and it removes some other elements, such as I have a credit link in the top left corner which is removed on there. But it's easy and good if your layouts areant really really complex. %26amp; you link to the layout from your blog.

Oh, I had another idea!

Get and account on freewebs.com, and when you edit your pages, put a textarea there and put your code in it. I use an advanced (HTML) site though so I don't know how to work the basic ones. Link it from your blog.
