2nd set of eyes please!

Am i taking crazy pills? I'm doing a simple echo from the database to a textarea. For some reason, it's not showing, but all my other db info echoes fine!

Here's my echo request...

Description<br/>
<textarea name = "description" cols=40 rows=6 value="<? echo $description;?>" onblur = "makeRequest('cms.php','description','<? echo $id; ?>')"; /></textarea><br/>

here's the "cms.php" code...

<?
include 'connect.php';
$id = $_GET['id'];

foreach ($_GET as $key => $value)
     {
	if ($key == 'name')
	    {
	$name = $_GET['name'];	
	$sql = mysql_query("update properties set name = '$name' where id = '$id'");		
		} 
	if ($key == 'description')
	    {
	$description = $_GET['description'];	
	$sql = mysql_query("update properties set description = '$description' where id = '$id'");	
	    }
	if ($key == 'contact')
	    {
	$contact = $_GET['contact'];	
	$sql = mysql_query("update properties set contact = '$contact' where id = '$id'");	
	    }
	if ($key == 'price')
	    {
	$price = $_GET['price'];	
	$sql = mysql_query("update properties set price = '$price' where id = '$id'");	
	    }		 	
	 }
  if ($sql) echo "Record Updated";  

?>

Thanks for the extra eye balls!

Textareas have their contents between the textarea tags, not as a value, so

<textarea><?php echo $something; ?></textarea>

It's echoing the info from the db now, but it won't update if changes are made. How would i incorporate this line to send the updated info to the db?

onblur = "makeRequest('cms.php','description','<? echo $id; ?>')";

Thanks!
