How to stop an html TEXTAREA from decoding html entities

Question

I have a strange problem:

In the database, I have a literal ampersand lt semicolon:

<div  

whenever its printed into a html

Answer 1

You have to be sure that this is rendered to the browser:

<div

Essentially, this means that the & in < has to be html encoded to &. How to do it will depend on the technologies you're using.

UPDATE: Think about it like this. If you want to display

inside a textarea, you'll have to encode <> because otherwise,

would be a normal HTML element to the browser:

<div>

Having said this, if you want to display <div> inside a textarea, you'll have to encode & again, because the browser decodes HTML entities when rendering HTML. It has nothing to do with your database.
