I'm in need of some help with inserting text into a textarea. I have
this (below)which actually REPLACES all text in the text area. I just
need the text to be added to existing text there.
/begincode
......
value="AddText">
/endcode
This text replaces what's already in the box if I click the button.
What I want is to add the text when the button is clicked, not replace
what is already in the text area.
Thanks very much for any assistance.

At a guess, something like:
function InsertText(mytext){
document.Form.message.value = document.Form.message.value+" "+mytext;
}

By the way, this is a javascript question. It has nothing whatsoever
to do with PHP!

I think everyhing is an array, even when its only one element..
Or better something like
