How do you put plain html in a scrollbox?

I have a layout site on myspace and I can't figure out how to put just plain html in a scrollbox without it turning into the picture of something.

Please help!

How do you put plain html in a scrollbox?

If you want html tags to look like html, rather than getting interpreted by the browser as tags, use the "escape" characters for the angle brackets:

%26amp; lt; (ampersand-lt-semicolon) for the left bracket, and

%26amp; gt; (ampersand-gt-semicolon) for the right bracket.

(With no spaces in them -- if I type them all together in this window, they just become %26lt; and %26gt;, which is the same problem I think you're having.)

%26lt;textarea%26gt; Plain HTML %26lt;/textarea%26gt;

HTML does not get rendered inside textareas.
