title: MVC2 C# TextAreaFor contains ', ,'
body: <p>I am using MVC2 C#.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following issue: if the !ModelState.IsValid, I send the user back to the invalid form where my textareas contain ',' or duplicates whatever is in the textarea.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%=Html.TextAreaFor(x =&gt; x.Address, new { cols = 42, rows = 4 })%&gt;
  &lt;%=Html.HiddenFor(x =&gt; x.Address)%&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I pass this information inbetween forms, so I also have the value as a hidden at the bottom of the form, don't know another way of passing this information between forms (I have 8 forms in total which use 1 ViewModel).</p>
  
  <p>I know the hidden is causing the issue but don't know how to fix it. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help</p>
