[fw-mvc] need help with Zend Form

Hey guys,  I just started messing around with zend_form and like it.

I can't figure out how to set the content of a  textarea         I looked through the docs and mailing list and couldn't find an example this is my code.
Any ideas?



$software_id = Zend_Filter::get($this->getRequest()->get('softwareid'),'Int');
     $software = new Software();
     $result = $software->fetchRow($software->select()->where('SOFTWARE_ID = ?',$software_id));
     $form = new SoftwareForm();
     $form->name->setValue($result->SOFTWARE_NAME);
     $form->desc->textArea($result->SOFTWARE_DESC);  
     $form->submit->setLabel('Edit');
     $form->published->addMultiOptions(array( 'Y' => 'Yes', 'N' => 'No'));
     $this->view->form = $form;



Class:



class SoftwareForm extends Zend_Form
{
    public function __construct($options = null)
    {
        parent::__construct($options);
        $this->setName('addsoftware');

        $name = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('name');
        $name->setLabel('Software')
        ->setRequired(true)
        ->addFilter('StripTags')
        ->addFilter('StringTrim')
        ->addValidator('NotEmpty');
       
        $published = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('published');
        $published->setLabel('Published')
        ->setRequired(true)
        ->addFilter('StripTags')
        ->addFilter('StringTrim')
        ->addValidator('NotEmpty');
       
        $desc = new  Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('description');
        $desc->setLabel('Description')
        ->setRequired(true)
        ->addFilter('StripTags')
        ->addFilter('StringTrim')
        ->addValidator('NotEmpty');
       
        $id = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden('id');
       
        $submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
        $submit->setAttrib('id', 'submitbutton');

        $this->addElements(array($id, $name, $published,$desc, $submit));
    }
}
