Jqurey append html as text to textarea

[Al3ks]

Hi

I am trying to make a link which once clicked will add text to the text area/field. The text needs to be pure text (HTML not translated).

So I got two pieces of jquery code which I struggling to make work together to achieve what I want.

To make HTML be plain text I have this code:

var text = document.createTextNode('
MyText
');

document.body.appendChild(text);

And to append the

MyText

to the text area I have a rough idea, like this:

$("#answer1").click(function(){

$('ul li').append('✓');

});

(found on internet)

Now can anyone help me structure this code to function the way I want, please?

Regards
Aleksander

$(function() {

$('#answer2').click(function() {

var content = '✓ TADAAA!';

$('textarea').append(

content

.replace(/&/g, '&')

.replace(/
.replace(/>/g, '>')

);

});

});

@Hompimpa Thank you!! worked perfectly.

ohh, but it doesn’t work once you type something in… any ideas?

Try this:

$('#answer2').live('click', function(){});

instead of this:

$('#answer2').click(function(){});
