textarea value disappears

   When I submit my form, there is nothing in the textarea value that is submitted. It works in the default.asp page supplied, but not in my real life example.

Here is my code

<tr>
                                        <td>Msg:<br>
                                    <%
                      'ID tag name of the HTML form the textarea is within
                      strFormName = "form1"

                      'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
                      strTextAreaName = "sMyMessage"

                      %>
                      <!-- include the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor -->
                      <!--#include file="RTE_editor_inc.asp" -->

                                    <textarea name=sMessage id=sMyMessage rows=15 cols=55><%=sMessage%></textarea></td>
                                    </tr>

And here is where the page submits to:

sMessage = trim(replace(Request.Form("sMessage"), "'", "`"))
    if sMessage = "" then
        sError = sError & "Please enter some text<br>"
    end if

It ALWAYS gives the error message meaning sMessage is blank.

Help!
