Um, what? "Similar Catagories"? (Categories is spelled with an "e", by the way)

Anyway, in your textarea tag add:

onChange="document.formname.submitbutton.disabled=false"

Changing "formname" to the name of your form and "submitbutton" as the name of your submit button. Example:

<form name=formname>
<textarea onChange="document.formname.submitbutton.disabled=false"></textarea>
<input type=submit name=submitbutton disabled>
</form>
