    Copy from a list to a textarea

    Hello,

    Can anyone help me with the following, or point me to a site that can help:

    I have a list of words in a List and I want a user to be able to select
    several words from this list, hit a button and these words appear in a
    textarea.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Gram.

      I assume your "List" is a select element.

      Code:
      ---
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function transferWords() {
      var optsRef = document.getEle mentById("selec tId").options;
      var textRef = document.getEle mentById("texta reaId");
      var words = [];
      for (var i=0;i<optsRef.l ength;i++) {
      if (optsRef[i].selected) {
      words.push(opts Ref[i].text);
      }
      }
      textRef.value = words.join(" ");
      }
      </script>

      <select id="selectId" multiple="multi ple">
      <option>Some</option>
      <option>Words </option>
      <option>To</option>
      <option>Selec t</option>
      <option>From</option>
      </select>
      <input type="button" value="Transfer Words" onclick="transf erWords()">
      <textarea id="textareaId" >Words appear here</textarea>
