like XOOPS allows you to do when creating a block, I would like to store HTML code in the DB using a form textarea to enter the data.
all i can find on the xoopsformloader is this (not that im sure using the formloader will fix my problem), and i cant really work out how to use it from that anyhow, and there is no tutorial.

is there a setting i can use to allow the html in a textarea to be submitted to db and retrieved without stuffing it up.
db field is set to text utf8_general_ci.

ps is there a list and explanation of the things like xoopsformloader for us to read up on?

thanks
steve.
