Question

I am trying to write something in text area when I click on a link.

function writeText(txt){
    document.getElementById("writeArea").innerHTML = txt;
}

I would like to pass html tag in place of txt as parameter to this function so that I can get image, link etc inside text area. Is it possible in Javascript? || JQuery will be good?
Pre-thanks.

If you want to render some images and anchor tags on the screen then don’t use a textarea. Use any other container like <div>, <span>, <p> etc.

$("#yourelementid").html(yourtext);

will put the text (in your case HTML) inside the element with id yourelementid

HTML

<p id="para1"></p>

jQuery

var txt = "<a href='http://www.google.com'>Google</a>";
$("#para1").html(txt);
