HELP!! My wordpress randomly adds stuff to my posts!!

    I have a myspace resource site http://www.radprofile.com

    I am making posts using the <textarea> tag so that visitors can copy and paste html codes to their profile to add backgrounds, layouts, etc...

    but sometimes (most of the time) in this textarea tag, when i post the post, it will randomly add a </br> or / somewhere in the code. For example, please see this recent post:

    http://radprofile.com/backgrounds/aaliyah-myspace-backgrounds/

    Before i posted this post, background-url for the myspace backgrounds was:

    background-image:url('http://radprofile.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/aaliyah_1.jpg');
    HTML:
    but since i posted it, a / was added around the URL. like this:

    background-image:url(\'http://radprofile.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/aaliyah_1.jpg\');
    HTML:
    FYI, I am notusing the visual editor when writing.

    Please!! I need your help. If you need any more information let me know. I will give REP to all that help! :D

    Awaiting your replies :)

    i saw there's couple of unclose <p> or </p>...not sure if that causing the niche problems in textarea when posting.
    or check you FORM if the url were added some asterick */* or something similiar. even a simple added */ will cause the textarea post a weird text...

    :)
