How do I populate a textarea based on the value of a check box from another webform?
 
Having "another webform" implies you'll be submitting that form to somewhere... so your best bet would be to do your server-side parsing of the initial form data as usual, and then tailor the output of the second page accordingly.

To output a value into a textarea, simply put the contents between the opening and closing tags, like so:

Code:
<textarea>Value goes here</textarea>

You would output that using whatever server-side scripting you are using.

Hope this helps,
