Weird textarea bug

[CyanGaming]

help help help

I'm using the global headers and footers modification.
I used a jquery script to insert a new textarea on some different page. For some reason the textarea in the global headers and footer decided that it would end where I put </textarea> in the jquery script. Now everything that came after the </textarea> part has leaked out of the textarea as raw text.

WHY did this happen and how do I fix it. Please help.

why did it happen?   Obviously, because your code is wrong...

How to fix it?
Fix the code.

Without SEEING the actual code, we can't help you much more than that.

Well I described it exactly as you need it. Just do:

$("body").after("<textarea></textarea>");

and then write some code after that and it breaks.

Inserting html outside the body is not valid markup. Use append instead.
