Text Box Manipulation

[biglurch]

I have made a link of text in a tree, where i want to have the user click it and it add that text to a text box. Any Suggestions on how to do this?

This is the links:
<code>
<li><a onclick="addToList()" name="Text>Test<a></li>
</code>
This is the javascript function:
<code>
function addToList(){
search.setText(text);
}
</code>
Any help would be greatly apprecieated

you haven't given much information, so this may be wrong...

you need to create a function that references a form object:

function addToList(str) {
    document.forms['myFormName'].elements['myTextBoxName'].value = str;
}

you need to then make sure your form is something like this:

<form name="myFormName">
    <input type="text" name="myTextBoxName" />
</form>

and you need your link to be something like:

<a href="addToList(this.innerText); return false;">Add This Crazy Text</a>
