Ach! I'm terrible at explaining myself when it comes to this stuff. Perhaps I should just show you what I mean?

Basically, I want the 'Description' box here to be pre-populated with text - namely, some basic stuff like "Name, Age etc.". So, I don't want to create a form per se, but populate an existing one (I guess?).

What I'm wondering is how I'd do that. And an idea of where I'd do it - i.e. in PHP, or in templates etc.

I apologise if I'm coming across a bit dense. I'm sort of just picking this stuff up as I go, and appreciate all your help.
