I know that this problem is old, but the regular fixes don't seem to word. I am writing information from a textarea to a database and then recalling that information on another page along with some text boxes. All of the text boxes show the correct information, but the textareas do not, eventhough the information is in the database(MSSQL). I have tried putting the request for the information at the end of the SQL statement, but it still doesn't seem to work, any help?
