HTML code in a textarea

[eluser]Salvador P.[/eluser]
Hello

I've been trying to deal with this problem for a while, but I can't! hehehe

I've got a form with a textarea, this text area must contain html code, like

Code:

<div  text-align: right;">
some text
<td  20px;">
  <p  Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; line-height: 10px; color: #500; text-align:right;">
  more text
....

At this point there is no problem, just a form with a text-area, where the user puts that code, ( the user knows what he or she is typing, won't type something incorrect )

When the form is submitted I get this values (using var_dump($this->input->post()); ) at the beginning of the function which gets the form data:

Code:

<div  text-align: right;">
some text
<td padding: 20px;">
  <p font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8px; line-height: 10px; color: #500; text-align:right;">
  more text
....

All the style=" tags/words are gone!!

I don't know why this is happening, something is escaping that words/tags but are required because we are using that html input in other views so we need to get that html raw input.

I have tried several things:
- XSS filtering disabled and enabled and same results.
- Tried to modify system/core/input post function and showed the data before it processes it and showed the same results, style=" tags gone.
- Different browsers
- Other things I don't remember...

Somebody knows what is happening?

Thanks!

EDIT: When I submitted this post, happened exactly the same thing!! All style tags are gone!
