Using a text area

[Anthony1312002]

I have a form with validation which keeps the form from posting blank or bad data. My problem is that I can't get the text area to keep it's value in case the enter a wrong value in one of the other fields. Here is what the code for the text area looks like. What coud be the problem?

<TextArea NAME="Description" ROWS="7" COLS="82" style="font-family: Arial" value="<?php echo $Description?>"></TextArea>

Thanks for getting back to me. That did the trick. Man it's easy to miss things like that.
