If you want to render HTML into a textarea then I am afraid you are on a hiding to nothing - the only thing a textarea can render (on all platforms) is text. So in that regard you may wish to jus modify your code that aaa.php becomes a function that returns a string that you can set as the value like so: <textarea name="test"><? echo $some_text; ?></textarea> There is a prject called htmlAreas which allows for rendering of HTML in a textarea but it only works on IE: http://www.interactivetools.com/ but again, this would require the same kind of modification as above. Another solution would be to use an <iframe src="aaa.php"> tag... HTH, Mikey
