DOM Bug?

Hello

Reproduce code:
---------------
Html:
this textarea has inside it a reference to an external image
[...]
<img src="foobar" />
[...]


Php:

$documentx = new DOMDocument();
$documentx->loadHTML($data);
$textareas = $documentx->getElementsByTagName("textarea");
foreach($textareas AS $textarea){
   print($textarea->getAttribute("value"));
   print($textarea->textContent);
}

I know there's no "value" attribute in the textarea, but if the content of
said textarea is wrapped in < and > there's no way to read it.

ideas?

this is really far from what I expected to read,
sorry but it's not a problem with style.

I surely explained myself in an awful way.

I was complaining that you can't read the content of a textarea via DOM if
it is surrounded with <>

I haven't tried this particular one, but is it maybe considered a child
node of the textarea?

I'm just not sure if this is valid xml or not - don't know if you can
have an img within a textarea.

you should not consider it as a node, but it should be valid as text (ie:
let's say I have a CMS in which i need to enter an embed tag from a
textarea, (an input field would do the trick) )

the problem is that for php it isn't text but it isn't a node as well.

No, <img src="foobar" /< would be text.
should be a node.

< and > are not legitimate XML characters, other than as tag delimiters.

I'd look at the library that you are using and checking what
'textContent' is looking at and it's return value.

AFAIK, textarea contents can be accessed by
value or childNodes[0].nodeValue
