show a Var in TEXTAREA

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

How can I show the Variable 'the_name' in a textarea? Like the one below?



var the_name = "hello hello hello";

<textarea name=&quot;ErrorReport&quot; cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;3&quot;>&quot;the_name&quot;</textarea>

<textarea name=&quot;ErrorReport&quot; cols=&quot;40&quot; rows=&quot;3&quot;>&quot;the_name&quot;</textarea>
<SCRIPT> <!--
var the_name = &quot;hello hello hello&quot;;
document.all.ErrorReport.innerHTML = the_name;
// -->
</SCRIPT>

This should work:

document.formname.ErrorReport.value = the_name;

If you want to add additional text to the value in the textarea (I do this for debugging sometimes) use:

document.formname.ErrorReport.value += "\nmore text";
document.formname.ErrorReport.value += "\nmore text";
document.formname.ErrorReport.value += "\nmore text";
