Great work on Code Igniter. It’s been a pleasure getting to know it recently.
The reason I’m posting is that I noticed that html entities weren’t getting encoded in my <textarea /> fields.
Here’s a patch to correct that:

unset($data['value']); // textareas don't use the value attribute
}
+ $val = form_prep($val);
+
return "<textarea ".parse_form_attributes($data, $defaults).$extra.">".$val."</textarea>\n";
}
Enjoy.
Just noticed a similar issue with the vals in the form_dropdown() function, by the way. Added the same form_prep($val) line to correct it.
