Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.

more options

Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.

The following code is also available at

We are about to start a textarea....

<textarea rows='20' cols='40'>
Here is the textarea.
Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not.
<p>
<!--
We are now inside comment blocks...
<br>
This code should be inside the text area.<br>
</textarea>
<br>
and so should this code be <b>inside</b> the text area (but is not in Firefox 4).
-->
</textarea>
<p>


This code should be outside the textbox.
