Problem redisplaying form information

[aquatsr]

I have a form that redisplays information when it isn't filled out correctly. Unfortunately in my <textarea> the information isn't redisplayed. Why would that be?

[reportingsjr]

are you using it like this:echo "<texarea..blah...>{$rows[2]}</textarea>";?Because you dont use value for textarea ;-)

Uhhh. I'm not sure what you mean. I'm using this:

English Excerpt<br /><textarea name="engexcerpt" rows="6" cols="50" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($excerpt)); ?>"</textarea><br /><br />

reportingsjr is right, it should be:<textarea name="engexcerpt" rows="6" cols="50"><?php echo htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($excerpt)); ?></textarea>

Got it, thanks!
