This depends on the fact that you know what form fields you need when you
get the page.
Basically you need the formfield names that you need in a comma delimited
list.
Example:
You know you need Field1,Field3,Field4,Field5 textboxes.
Then as you creates you textarea's just check to see if the fieldname exists
in your list using the listContainNoCase() Function.
Lets say that your list of fieldnames is names fieldlist.
<cfif listContainsNoCase(fieldlist,Field1)>
<textarea cols="70" rows="5" name="field1">
<textarea>
</cfif>
...and so on
