here's a dummy page i made up...  sounds like you're looking for something
like this;

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
	<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="javascript">
  function addText() {
  
  current = document.myForm.myText.value;
  shouldBe = current + " also, i like cheese";
  
  document.myForm.myText.value = shouldBe;
  
  
  }
</script>
	
</head>

<body>
<form name="myForm">

<textarea name="myText" cols=40 rows=5>
</textarea>
<br>
<input type="Button" name="theButton" value="click me" onClick="addText()">

</form>
</body>
</html>

Subject: Inserting text without refreshing


Hi,
Is there a way I can insert text into document based on user input without 
having to refresh it? I've got a text area, and I want the user to be able
to
hit a button/link and have text put in the area at the current insertion
point,
without the page having to reload. I hope I've explained this properly,
TIA,
Luke Jordan.
