I want to retrieve from a database into a textfield so the information can be edited. Of course..i'm stupid to not be able to solf this one but..oke..maybe some of you might wanna help.

I've tried these two:

<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2" class="tblTxT">input field
<input type="textarea" name="Verhaal" wrap="virtual" size="100" rows="10" value="<% = Rs("Verhaal") %" />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>Textarea:</td>
<td><textarea cols="60" rows="10" name="Verhaal">
<% = Rs("Verhaal")%></textarea>
</td>
</tr>

I even tried an iframe. But it only works in the upper code. And that one does not give me a textarea. Any solutions?

Is:
value="<% = Rs("Verhaal") %" />
Just a typo in your post?

Should be:
value="<% = Rs("Verhaal") %>" />

Otherwise, I'm a bit stuck, because:
<tr>
<td>Blurb:</td>
<td><textarea name="blurb" cols="40" rows="10"><%
Response.Write(strBlurb)
%></textarea></td>
</tr>


...works for me and isn't particularly different to yours (structurally, except for the typo).
