      <TD width="50%"><a onclick = "return checkFields()" href = "javascript:form.submit();">Add</a></TD>
    </TR>
    <TR Class = "TData_Text_Grey">
      <%
 'Name of the HTML form the textarea is within
 strFormName = "form"
 
 'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
 strTextAreaName = "mytextarea"
 
 %>
      <!-- include the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor -->
      <!--#include file="RTE_editor_inc.asp" -->
