populating a text area

I am trying to populate a text area but am having no success. The code listed below does not generate an error but also does not populate my text area. Any suggestions are welcome!!

Thanks,
JN

<cfquery  datasource="Mydsn"  name="custinfoquery">
Select Custinfo FROM tblCust Where UserName = '#Client.UserName#'
</cfquery>

<cfoutput query="custinfoquery">
	<TEXTAREA NAME="bkeywords" value="#Custinfo#" COLS=40 ROWS=6></TEXTAREA><input type="submit" name="cbkeywords"  value="Change"/>
	</cfoutput>

Code (markup):

 

It's a friday night, you're forgiven! lol

Ok here goes:
<cfquery datasource="Mydsn" name="custinfoquery">
Select Custinfo FROM tblCust Where UserName = '#Client.UserName#'
</cfquery>

Let us ASSUME that the above query indeed returned a record (you can test that)

Your cfoutput tag doesn't need to contain all of what you had. Instead, this what you should have done:

<TEXTAREA NAME="bkeywords" COLS=40 ROWS=6> <cfoutput query="custinfoquery">#Custinfo#</cfoutput> </TEXTAREA>

<input type="submit" name="cbkeywords" value="Change" />


When it all boils down to it, you were having an HTML issue not necessarily a ColdFusion issue. For textarea, to assign a value it is <textarea .....>VALUE</texarea>

Hope this helps
