Yeah that didn't work either... If I put the same value ( value=\"{$record['wel_area']}\" ) on a text line it works just fine however using the same value for a textarea doesnt give me any results nor does it give me an error message to go on, if there is a way to output the code to the screen like a dos echo command that would help out alot.
