IE won't display my page properly. PLEASE HELP

[Terry]

Hi, this is the source code that it should display:

<tr>
<td class="0000ff">
<!-- banner 1 -->
<p><img src="../images/mbts1.gif"
width="468px" height="60px"><br>&nbsp;</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><textarea name="banner2" cols="56"
rows="3" style="color: #0000ff">
<a
href="http://www.manbehindthespecs.co.uk/"><img
src="mbts1.gif" width="468px"
height="60px"></a></textarea><br>&nbsp;</p></td>
</tr>

Note: I've only displayed the bit that is the problem, now
here is what it shows on IE when you check source.

<p><br>&nbsp;</p></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><textarea name="banner2" cols="56"
rows="3" style="color: #0000ff">
<a
href="http://www.manbehindthespecs.co.uk/"></a></textarea><
br>&nbsp;</p></td>
</tr>

I've cleared temp internet files, don't know what else I
can do, it works fine for everybody else but not for me,
what seems to be the problem?

Few other things you might like to know, I use FlashFXP to
upload to the ftp server and when you view a file via that
it comes out great, just not when you view it in the
browser.

feel free to e-mail me at (e-mail address removed)

This is not an IE problem. Your HTML is invalid.
1. The "px" designator is used in CSS or inline style tags; remove it here.
2. Neither Anchor tags nor Image tags are allowable within
<textarea></textarea>

You've read that wrong, the text area is so that internet
users can copy that to put it into their html page.

It has been working fine for ages until I had to reinstall
windows, plus everybody else can see it perfectly but me.
