Today I spent some time chasing ghosts and a missing textarea value in my POST data. All form elements were posted correctly but the textarea was missing. I am using the WYMeditor for the textarea to turn the element into a rich text field. The textarea was missing from the POST data because it has it's style attribute set to display:none. This is something that the class="wymeditor" attribute does to the textarea. The important bit is the submit button which also needs a class attribute. Something I had missed when copying from the demo page for the WYMeditor. After giving the submit button a class="wymupdate" everything works just fine.
