Your problem is not ColdFusion-related, it's HTML syntax that you need to learn more
about. Check any online manual regarding HTML specs - there's tons of them available.
Your current problem will be solved as follows:
<textarea cols=50 rows=10 name="body" wrap="virtual">#body#</textarea>

> Hi, I'm sort of a newbie with Cold fusion, so I'm probably doing some
> simple mistake. I can't get my text to show up on a cfquery using
> <textarea> tag. Here is my code:
> <textarea cols=50 rows=10 name="body" wrap="virtual" font="arial" value=
> "#body#"></textarea>
> Wierd thing is if I change it to an imput type ="text" it works
> fine. So i
> know it has to be something in my textarea code. Wierd part is, that same
> exact code is used elsewhere and works. If anyone can help please do,
> thanks. The database is in access and is set for "memo" in that
> field. It
> wouldn't be so bad but, some of the articles are rather long for a normal
> text field.
