You can't set a client-side thing from the server-side. They're absolutely different physical layers.

What you need is AJAX to request a resource from your Web app to your NodeJS server-side app, and set what you put in you response to the whole text field.

Maybe you'll need to take a look at ExpressJS to build a simple RESTful service to share resources between your client and server tiers.
