HTML Python Correct Syntax

Question

I'm trying to print a textbox within a form.

This is my code for the component of the form (within python):

print "<tr><td>Review </td><td>< input type=""textarea"" name=""Review"" cols=""50"" rows=""5""> "
print """
    Enter some text...
    </textarea>
    <br />

"""

But on the form, it ends up like this

I'm sure it's just syntax, but I'm pretty new to HTML.

Try this one:

print "<tr><td>Review </td><td><input type=\"textarea\" name=\"Review\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" />"
print """
    Enter some text...
    </textarea>
    <br />

"""

You have a redundant whitespace between < and input. Just remove it:

print "<tr><td>Review </td><td><input type=""textarea"" name=""Review"" cols=""50"" rows=""5""> "

You must add \ before each " symbol like this:

print "<tr>
     <td>Review </td>
     <td><input type=\"textarea\" name=\"Review\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"5\" />"
print """
    Enter some text...
    </textarea>
    </td>    
"""

And you must close <td> correctly (you typed <br/> instead).

print "<tr><td>Review </td><td><textarea name=""Review"" cols=""50"" rows=""5"">Enter Some text"
print """
    </textarea>
    <br />

"""

This was actually the way I got it working... but yeah, the space after the < wasn't helping :P
