<p>

<textarea name="Image Link" rows="5" cols="40" style="white-space: normal;" onclick="this.focus();this.select()">& lt ;p>& lt ;img style="width: XXpx; height: YYpx; border: 0;" src="Image_URL" alt="Text Description" title="Mouseover Text">& lt ;/p></textarea>

You must use & lt ; (without the spaces) for the '<' symbol to deactive the HTML code inside the textarea box. Using & lt ; will insure all HTML is pure text.

The styling will give a black background and purple text. Change the font family in the order of priority that you want to use that is common for all viewers.
