i'm using dreamweaver cs4... i don't know it's on my host.

Create a test script and dump the server scope. It'll contain the version
<cfdump var="#server#">
Cold Fusion version; Currently running Cold Fusion 8.
Is it standard Adobe ColdFusion? Because I don't see any reason it shouldn't work under CF8. Unless maybe

A) The host disabled that tag OR
B) The tag name is mispelled or it's not contained within a CFFORM

But if it were A) I think you'd be seeing a different error message and I just tested it w/CF9 and it works. So I'm back to wondering about the version on the host running...
well is this statement correct

fyi.

Hm... Allaire hasn't owned CF for a lo-ong time.  So I don't think you're using CF8.

Bottom line, if you're not running MX7 or higher, you can't use cftextarea.  You'll have to use a regular <textarea> instead.
What do you Agx,

I 'm able to show the data within an textfield but not a textarea... do u have any solution

<cfoutput><input type="text" name="ISSUES" value="#DisplayCVITool.ISSUES#" style="width: 200px;background:red;"></cfoutput>

Lol... I think you're misreading my responses. I've given the solution twice ;-)

ie Just use a regular TEXTAREA ;-)  

Note, it's not the same as CFTEXTAREA
