body: <p>I am using Symfony 1.3.2 on Ubuntu 9.10</p>
  
  <p>I want to set the default value of a textarea widget, with data read froma  adb.</p>
  
  <p>My code snippet in the template looks likes this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php $form['notes']-&gt;render(); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The API docs dont show how to do this - does anyone know how to do this?</p>
