[MarkLogic Dev General] textarea closing missing

[Williams, Paul]

Hmmm.  Thanks Mike, but this really isn't a space preservation issue.
Our code looks like this:
===============================================
return 
	...
	<textarea id="annotationText"></textarea>
	...
===============================================

MLS 3.1 properly generated the HTML as:
...<textarea id="annotationText"></textarea>...

But MLS 3.2 generates this:
...<textarea id="annotationText"/>...

That would be fine for an XHTML browser, but IE 6 doesn't play nice with
this because a textarea element in HTML must have an end tag.

So, the question is: what changed in MLS 3.2 so that it's not generating
valid HTML here?  Nothing changed in our code.

Paul,

The xmlspace declaration should help:

declare xmlspace = preserve

<textarea>
</textarea>

=>
<textarea>
</textarea>
