Hi Kaerstin,
just guessing that your XML would look something like
<dataElement>
<name>Field Name</name>
<description>Field Description</description>
<visible>visible</visible>
<display>textarea</display>
<optional>optional</optional>
<multipleAllowed>false</multipleAllowed>
<possibleValues>
<value>some text</value>
</possibleValues>
</dataElement>
, the following stylesheet, which uses the fragment you sent,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="dataElement" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dataElement" >
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="display='textfield'">
<input type="text" name="{name}"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="display='textarea'">
<textarea name="{name}">
<xsl:value-of select="possibleValues/value"
/>
</textarea>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
which outputs the following html:
<textarea name="Field Name">some text</textarea>
So, although I removed some of your code, your xsl was working fairly
well... if it is still not working for you please let us know.

you are missing a $ off name and if display is an attribute it will be
preceded by a $ or @ depending on the context i.e.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@display='textfield'">
<input type="text"name="{$name}"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
otherwise do something
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Hi Kaerstin,
Please post your XML or an extract of it so we can determine the cause
of your problem better, just like you did with the radio and check boxes.

Subject: [xsl] Generating form fields with xsl
I have an xml page that gets translated into a html form using my xsl
stylesheet. However when I try and create a textarea field, it doesnt
work.
How does one create a <textarea name=""></textarea> equivalent in xsl?
I tried using an input with ttype textfield and also the way below:
they dont seem to work.
<xsl:choose><xsl:when test="display='textfield'"><input type="text"
name="{name}"/></xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="display='textarea'"><textarea name="{name}"
</textarea> </xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="possibleValues">
<xsl:with-param name="typo" select="display"/>
<xsl:with-param name="multiple" select="$multiple"/>
<xsl:with-param name="label" select="name"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
