I was able to get text area to work by copying the Description code. You need to duplicate it all over the files and do a similar table in your db.

I tried to copy the manufacturers_id for a pull down, but it didn't work. I am thinking cause that code works differently. It pulls the manufacturers names form a table that is populated by the admin. I just want to do it myself one time with 6 values. I haven't been able to get a working pull down yet. and no one has yet to have answers for me on this forum.
