Your form needs to have an ID value as well as a name value, also
calling the form 'form' is not a good idea as it can course conflicts
in the JavaScript. A proper submit button instead of sunbmitting by a javascript onclick event may also help. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Try chnaging the names of form elements as sometimes they can clash cousring problems.

I believe this line is causing the problem:
<a onclick = "return checkFields()" href = "javascript:form.submit();">Add</a>
the form will submit but the onsubmit event is not fired and you end up with a blank textarea. (the onsubmit event must be fired and it cannot be done this way, you need a button of type=submit or type=image)
