Hi

I thought I'd have a play with Razor and try and build a simple contact form that sends an email.

Well, the basic form was pretty simple and works fine but then I tried to change the message input box to a textarea to make it bigger.
It seems to display the textarea control ok but the Razor script appears as content in the control!
And the submit button vanishes.

Yeah..  very odd.

the code is simply this:

<div>
        <label for="msg">Message:</label>
        <textarea name="msg" rows="10" cols="30" />
    </div>

What am I doing wrong?

Gus
