Text Area that saves text

[Dext3r]

Hi, i’m looking for some help on how to make a simple
Text Area with a button that saves, i want to use it as a “Admin Note” thing.

So lets say i add “Hi im on vacation this week” and hit the Save button it saves the text in the text area.
Been searching 2 hours on a Tutorial simply cant find anything.

Well what ever solution is the best, i’ve seen it done before in Javascript.
Just cant find any help on it.

Well there’s a few more things to consider.

Who can edit the textarea? Everyone or do you need a login? And who can see the admin note? Everyone or just the user who entered the text?

I just need the Textarea, i want everyone to edit it and everyone to view it.

So everyone can write a note and then everyone else will see that note? What if someone writes a note and someone else wants to overwrite it?

I want to place it inside my admin panel so admins can use it, so i just need the basic code of it right now
So just like a simple thing like this http://codepen.io/anon/pen/Cnjyd you type your message hit save, and it saves it inside the text area.

If you want other admins to see it, then you’ll probably end up having to use a database.

The note just reads from the database and shows whatever it retrieves. And the text is written to the database once you hit the SAVE NOTE button.
