I need to return some values to the form  
so I do  
\<%= text\_field ‘property’, ‘name’ , :value =\> session[:property][:name]  
%\>Name

and the same fo text area  
\<%= text\_area ‘property’, ‘description’, :value =\>  
session[:property][:description] , “cols” =\> 30,“rows” =\> 6  
%\>Description  
 \<= but here does not work ? why if I switch on  
text\_field is OK
