i have been creating a web page using MS Front page

FrontPage is such a bad program even Microsoft dropped it. Notepad is better than FrontPage :)

Validate and fix your list of html errors.

This "plzzzzzz" stuff really gets on some mods nerves.

This is a javascript issue so I'm sending you there.

Welcome to TSDN!

Please post code using CODE tags. Thanks!

To clear the first textarea, just set its value to the empty string. Do this on line 20 of your code in your post.

To enter text on separate lines in the second textarea, add a newline '\n'.

I meant the 20th line in the code that you posted. Try this:
[CODE=javascript]function addtext() {
var newtext = document.myform .inputtext.valu e;
document.myform .outputtext.val ue += newtext + "\n";
document.myform .inputtext.valu e = "";
}[/CODE]
