Thanks Brad. That worked. I was actually following using the previous form because it was working fine when I am setting the value of an html:text tag using value="<bean:write.../>".
Seems a little inconsistent that one works and the other does not. Thanks again. Haytham -----Original Message----- From: Bradley M.

Change you tags to be: <html:textarea property="longDesc1" cols="20" rows="5"> <nested:write name="eventForm" property="longDesc1" scope="request"/> </html:textarea> Tags within properties are not interpreted.

I have been trying to make the following work: <html:textarea property="longDesc1" cols="20" rows="5" value='<nested:write name="eventForm" property="longDesc1" scope="request" />'/> I started with this actually: <html:textarea property="longDesc1" cols="20" rows="5" value='<bean:write name="eventForm" property="longDesc1" scope="request" />'/> But when I display the page, I get this in my textarea: <nested:write name="eventForm" property="longDesc1" scope="request" /> Which is all the code I had set for the value of the textarea? Not sure why neither is working? Do I have to use some sort of java scriptlet to get the value of the eventForm bean? I really did not think the nested would work here but gave it a try anyway.
