HTML Encode Text Area?

[Crash1hd]

Ok the following code works fine

<input id="MNameField" maxlength="100" name="MNameField" size="30" value="<% = Server.HTMLEncode(MNameField) %>">

cause its a text field

but the following does not!

<textarea cols=40 name=DetailsField rows=6 wrap="VIRTUAL" value="<% = Server.HTMLEncode(DetailsField) %>"></textarea>

textareas don't have a value. You need to include the value from the sessionvar between the textarea start and end tag. Like
<textarea name="textareaName" cols="40" rows="4"><%= session.Contents("abs")%></textarea>
