I have a textarea, On every Enter key pressed in textarea I want new line to be started with a bullet say (*). How to go about it ?

No jQuery please.

I can observe for the Enter key , after that !? Should I have to get the whole value of textarea and append * to it and again fill the textarea ?

    You could do something like this:

    <body>

<textarea id="txtArea" onkeypress="onTestChange();"></textarea>

<script>
function onTestChange() {
    var key = window.event.keyCode;

    // If the user has pressed enter
    if (key === 13) {
        document.getElementById("txtArea").value = document.getElementById("txtArea").value + "\n*";
        return false;
    }
    else {
        return true;
    }
}
</script>

</body>

    Although the new line character feed from pressing enter will still be there, but its a start to getting what you want.
