If I place an article inside of a text area, does it have the same weight as if I put the same article on the page?
 
i posted false information, fixed below.

no it wont matter google can read via text area also and give you same rank as the normal articles !
 
I wonder what happens if I put a html page inside of the textarea, which will have it's body, p etc, would it still consider it as a part of text area or maybe won't even index that part at all :confused:
 
oh man i don't know, i'm no pro at HTML...

what are you trying to accomplish with this? Maybe some more insight could be provided with more information about your goals.
 
There are many articles on this page & I'm planning to add another one, about 33 pages long. I need to have them all on the same page(or treated so by search engines), but yet not have a mess & it has to be easily browsable.

That makes perfect sense... so i did a little research into the <textarea> tag, and i don't see any reason why you couldn't use it outside of a form.

Furthermore, i was incorrect when i posted above. I looked at the latest information from ipopbb, seen below, and you'll notice that textarea has been valued recently.

Code:
1	u + 5		title
2	u + 11		samp
3	u + 7		cite
4	u + 4		pre
5	      		textarea
6	d - 2		table > caption
7	u + 21		bdo
8	u + 1		sub
9	u + 28		abbr
10	d - 3		h3
11	d - 9		dl > dt > dd
12	d - 11		linking to relevant pages
13	new   		code
14	u + 3		table > tr > td
15	u + 24		dl > dt
16	d - 4		s
17	d - 14		body
18	      		del
19	u + 14		strike

So, i'd say go for it!
