Looks like you might have ASP.NET control IDs confused with JavaScript IDs. Look in the HTML source output for the ID value on that description text box and use that where you currently have this.form.Description. It will probably end up as this.form.DescriptionId or this.form.DescriptionId_ctl0 or some other ridiculous ID that ASP.NET decides to generate for you.
