Mind you due to the work environment technical restrictions I can only use IE8.
The OS is WinXP.

For some reason that I'm failing to spot, I can't have both things at the same time. Is either the iframe tag or the textarea tag. I wonder if it's a limitation of IE8, or I'm just doing a "big NO NO". I would appreciate it if someone could enlighten me with this ;)



Code:

<head>

<style type="text/css">
div.c_notes { position:relative; width:400px; height=auto; left:600px; top:-600px;border:1px solid black;}
div.d_titles2 { position:relative; width:1000px; height=35px; left:400px; top:-300px;background-color:000;border:1px solid black;}
div.b_titles1 { position:relative; left:200px; top:-200px;height=35px; background-color:000; border:1px solid black;}
div.c2_sources { position:relative; width:300px; height=298px; background-color:fff; left:182px; top:-10px;border:1px dashed green;}

I failed to mention this, just in case:
Notice that if you are to remove the Comments tags from the iframe tag the textarea tag will no longer show.

That's because you never close the iframe. Iframe aren't self closing, so essentially everything after the iframe declaration becomes its content, but because you define a source for it, it replaces the misappropriated content so it can't be seen.

Close the iframe, and your text box should show up.

Code: 
<iframe ...> </iframe>
