Textareas have no value attribute, instead, the value is placed between
the textarea tags like this:
echo ("<td colspan='2'><textarea name='extract' cols='100' rows='5'>" .
$myrow[3] . "</textarea></td>");

Yes indeed, that works. In case you sometimes need to checkbox checked
by default just insert the checked="checked" attribute in the tag.
