presumably you tried
@ie.text_field(:name, 'J_LDESC').value='yes'
and that didnt work?

Subject: [Wtr-general] how to populate hidden text area?
This did not work for me as my webpage has J__LDESC(the textarea in question)
as the required field and so, on clicking submit button, I get the error
message to fill in the field. Any other suggestions? Suman try using the
value method: @ie.text_field(:name, ..).value='some text' the set method fires
all appropriate evens, and generally obeys what the web page is doing ( ie not
letting you enter something that is hidden) but value= will get round that Paul
