Text already in 'text area'...how did they do that?

[rnmcd]

I came across a vb site: http://forum.freeadvice.com/

and when you started a new thread there was already text in the this area (where you type your message).

The text they had just said, "What is the name of your State"?


How did they do that?

Beyond comprehension, huh.
