I have a textarea

```
<textarea id=view-body ></textarea>

```

that gets a content when an onclick from

```
<a href='#' onclick='popup_view(this)' data-body ='". $rows['body'] ."' >view</a>

<script language="JavaScript">
function popup_view(e) 
{       
    var body = e.getAttribute('data-body');         
    el = document.getElementById("view-body");  
    el.innerHTML = body;    
}
</script>

```

I wanted the content of my textarea to be printed the way it is.
For example the onclick sends 

```
<i>Wired</i>

```

my textarea printout 

```
<i>Wired</i>

```

but not, and supposed to be like this

*Wired*
