As for my knowledge textarea is not self closing tag,it should have a starting 
tag and ending tag like <textarea></textarea>.
so its not correct as for html syntax.

Actually i came to know that  the anti-samy code allows html code like 
<textarea id="forcesTextareaId"/> and then should convert to safe html like 
<textarea id="forcesTextareaId"></textarea> 
i think i have to  write the tag rules for textarea tag, so can any one please 
suggest me how to write the tag rules in policy file or alternative for this 
issue.

Hi,

I found a solution for the above issue :

just remove <literal value="textarea"/> from policy file, now its working.
