Viewing HTML code in a textarea

[fatfishmatt]

I'm trying to pull HTML code into a form textarea however I actually want the code to be displayed and not the formatting.

i.e. <font color="#FF0000;">Hello World</font> needs to be displayed as <font color="#FF0000;">Hello World</font> and not red text that says Hello World.

Thanks in Advance

And what does not work if you do:

echo '<textarea>' . $myHTML . '</textarea>';

Any code in textarea will not get parsed, it will simply be output.
