I have this code:
        <%
                                    Dim strFormName
                                    Dim strTextAreaName
                                    'ID tag name of the HTML form the textarea is within
                                    strFormName = "htmlmessage"

                                    'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
                                    strTextAreaName = "htmlmessage"
                                    Dim strTest
                                    strTest = "abc"

                                %>
                                
                                    
                                    <textarea name="htmlmessage" rows="33" cols="37" id="htmlmessage">
                                    <%=strTest%>
                                    </textarea>

But the textarea is always just <br>, why is my "abc" not showing?

You have given your form and text area the same name.

This is the problem as when a command is run by the javascript it doesn't know if you are referring to the form tag or the text area tag.

Change the name and id property of your form element to something other than htmlmessage
