title: Not retrieving value from text area
body: <p>How do I retrieve values from text area. Certaily is not from value, I get null. For putting the value I just do it between textarea tag, but then, how do I retrieve it.</p>
  
  <p>Do I have to do it using javascript or jQuery?... Is not as simple as input('inputname')?</p>
  
  <p>There's a lot of references but I don't get it.</p>
  
  <p>I want to show a string value (191 characters - default) at text area, and obviously retrieve it back.</p>
  
  <p>Doesn't work</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
      &lt;label for="strNota"&gt;Comentarios&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;textarea class="form-control" rows="3" id="strNota" 
                name="text" value=" {{ $cargo-&gt;strComentario }} "&gt;  &lt;/textarea&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="form-group"&gt;
      &lt;label for="strNota"&gt;Comentarios&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;textarea class="form-control" rows="3" id="strNota" 
                name="text"&gt; {{ $cargo-&gt;strComentario }} &lt;/textarea&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At my controller it doesn't work</p>
  
  <pre><code>$strComentario = $request-&gt;input('strNota');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
