Textarea, File Upload field setting values

Hi, I can write a code like : <input type="text" name="txtfield1" value="<? $txtfield1 ?>"> Thus I can set the value of $txtfield1 and it is reflected in the above textbox. How can such thing be done with TextArea and File upload ? <input maxLength="128" name="Imagefile" type="file" value="<? echo $Imagefile ?>"> <textarea name="txtDescription" rows=25 cols=80 maxlength="1000" value="<? $txtDescription ?>"></textarea> The above stuff is not working. Is it possible to accomplish the above stuff ? I need this since I am calling the same form on submit for validation and hence will need the values of the above also to remain intact in case of error in any other fields. Thanks in advance.
