Add text to textarea - Jquery

Question

How can I add text from a DIV to a textarea?

I have this now:

    $(\'.oquote\').click(function() { 
      $(\'#replyBox\').slideDown(\'slow\', funct         


        

Answer 1

That should work. Better if you pass a function to val:

$('#replyBox').val(function(i, text) {
    return text + quote;
});

This way you avoid searching the element and calling val twice.
