had to make a fake reply just to get it working again.

above is not my post.

please do not use <textarea> ( or any real HTML-code ) in your post.



Did you bind the textarea to a parameter?

Yes, looking at the parameters tab, that textarea is bound to a parameter.

well...

...then the value should arrive at the .fex

can you verify that somehow?
( add to dummy COMPUTE field or in a heading )

I tried a -TYPE statement in the procedure executed after the parm is updated, and I still get the old value.

If you want to see how it acts email me and we can set up a webex meeting.

I have see this happen. What I had to do was custom javascript to get the value witht he getElementById and then use the IbComposer_setCurrentSelection.

Because when in a textarea the user can send back what ever they want I base64 encoded the value before sending it and then decode is back in the fex. and also check for Security Injection Issues. I hacker could cause some real damage.
