Question

I have an INPUT text box.

As someone types into the INPUT text box, i need it to append/add-to a TEXTAREA value.

---

Lets say user types ‘12345’ into the text box.

The textarea (default value=”Comment: “) will automatically add: ‘Comment: 12345’. Adding ‘12345’ as they type.

Answer 1

Assuming area is the id of your textarea and text the id of your textbox,

$(function() {

  var areaText = $('#area').val();  

  $('#text').bind('keyup keypress', function() { 
      $('#area')[0].value = areaText + $(this)[0].value;
  });

});
