Trouble repopulating textarea

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Above the RTE, I have a simple select box.  When an option is selected, the form is submitted.  When the form is submitted using this, the RTE never repopulates. But, if I use the submit button, the RTE repopulates correctly.  Have any idea why this is?

<%
sTextarea=Request.Form("textarea")
%>

<select size="1" name="customer" onChange="this.form.submit()">
<option selected value="0">Select</option>
<option value='1'>1</option>
</select>

<textarea name="textarea" cols="80" rows="15" id="myTextarea"><%=sTextArea%></textarea>
