[lilnomad]

Does anyone have any tips on how I can get a link to insert a string into a textbox without reloading the entire page? I am familiar with PHP but I am thinking it is going to require some JavaScript. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Kind of, except that it doesn't clear the entire textarea it just adds itself to the end.

If you need to append something..well just modify the function on that link.

<a href="javascript://" onclick="document.someform.sometbox.value = document.someform.sometbox.value + 'some value is here';">this</a>

Thank you very much.
