Question

I use .innerHTML to add text in textarea. But If I starting edit text in textarea by myself script stops working.

Here it is:

(function($){
addPort = function(name) {
    switch(name) {
    case 'name1':
        var code = "text1"; 
        break
    case 'name2':
        var code = "text2";
        break
    case 'name3':
        var code = "text3";
        break
    default:
        break
    }
    document.getElementById("codeArea").innerHTML += code;
}; })(jQuery);

Don’t pay attention on jQuery. Some other function use it.

Here’s the textarea:

<textarea id="codeArea" name="codeAreaPost"></textarea>

Thanks.

Answer 1

its just replace innerHTML by value property

document.getElementById("codeArea").value

not innerHTML
