The textarea's id and name are all lower case (textareaname) and the selector has an uppercase character (textareaName). CSS selectors are case sensitive.
There's also brackets missing in the second group of $() calls. The "val()" function is the way to get and set the content of a textarea. The "text()" and "html()" functions will return different results for different browsers.
