Issue/Introduction

We have an HTML portlet that was working prior to 15.9.1, but does not work after upgrading.

Cause

The problem is related to using a "textarea" tag, and the placement of the closing tag.

For example this code might cause an issue:

<textarea name="abc" wrap="off" cols="100" rows="20" />

Environment

Release : 15.9.1

Component : CA PPM SAAS STUDIO

Resolution

Adjust the code to include a specific closing tag section for textarea, which allows it to work. Here is an example:

<textarea name="abc" wrap="off" cols="100" rows="20"></textarea>
