I don't like the gt and lt shortcut, so I tried to do it with CSS and
a textarea table tag. Let me know what you think

I think that I don't know why you don't like the easy, built-in approach
that works and preferring to misrepresent the situation as a problem to
which you couldn't find a solution and then hacking together a complex
workaround involving a textarea in lieu of the straightforward approach,
but that's your business.

< and > are not "shortcuts"

You're using the wrong tool for the job. Being lazy can indeed result in
innovative solutions, but this isn't one of them.

The textarea resize indicator is still visible, in browsers that allow
textarea resizing.
