Jquery to populate input or textarea

Answer 1

If you want to use pure JavaScript instead of jQuery, try this:

<form><textarea id="ta"></textarea></form>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jah = "whatever you want";
    var ta = document.getElementById('ta');
    ta.value = jah;
</script>

Assigning .value equals jQuery function .val(v);

Answer 2

$('#myinput').val($('#example').find('p').text());

where 'myinput' is id of your textarea. Paste this line after

document.getElementById("example").innerHTML=jah;

Answer 3

just like this using jQuery's val method $('#Id').val(jah);

Where Id is the id of input for textarea. :)

Answer 4

By using $.val. Assuming #example is a selector pointing to the input field in question, you can use something like this:

$('#example').val(jah);
