[SOLVED] TinyMCE and Form set_value problem

[eluser]jjmax[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm using TinyMCE on a site I'm building.
I want the user to be able to add articles to the site. To this end I've setup a form with some validations.
If the validation returns false I want to alert the user, but also want to repopulate the form fields with the data they've already added.
This works fine using the set_value() function of the form helper.
The only thing is that when the form is reloaded and the fields repopulated the TinyMCE fields are not being formatted properly.

For example:
If I type the following into a textarea with TinyMCE enabled -

Code:

How
Now
Brown
Cow

TinyMCE writes this html code -

Code:

<p>How<br />Now<br />Brown<br />Cow</p>

But once the form gets repopulated the TinyMCE textarea shows this -

Code:

<p>How<br />Now<br />Brown<br />Cow</p>

With the generated html being - (I've added spaces around each &)

Code:

<p>& lt;p & gt;How & lt;br / & gt;Now & lt;br / & gt;Brown & lt;br / & gt;Cow & lt;/p & gt;</p>

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it please?

Thanks for your time
