I believe that viewing the source of a page will only show you the page's source when it was first loaded. If you dynamically change the content of the page, it won't change the page's source.
So, if your hidden form field is empty when the page loads, viewing it will show you an empty form field, even if it actually now has a value in it.
You said that the text area gets the value correctly, but then disappears when the form is submitted. What happens after the form is submitted? If the page just gets reloaded, then the textarea will stay empty.
Do you have a URL where we can look at what's happening?
