Can <select> be used to populate <textarea>

To avoid a few hundred selection fields or checkboxes, I was hoping to find a method of populating a single selection field with up to 100 values or so; letting the user make a selection; assign that value to a Var; then append it's value to the bottom of a textarea using docwrite, copy/paste or other.

i.e. Each repetition of selection appends it's value to a <textarea> eventually building a delimited list which then gets submitted to a middleware app for parsing.

Am I just reaching here or is this within the realm of practicality?

 
It sounds like a reasonable thing to do, and I think it should work. It's worth a try.
