I have the same issue but I can't see the answers for this post. Here is my code:

<h1>Edit Page: <%= @title %></h1>

<div>
    <form>
        <fieldset>
            <label for="content">Content:</label>
            <textarea name="content" id="content" cols="50" rows="10"><%= @content %></textarea>
        </fieldset>
        <input type="submit">
    </form>
</div>

<a href="/">Back to Index</a>

Many thanks in advance for your help!
