Hello world, i need to add tags to a textarea but if i do it with innerHTML, it adds, but not as a text in a textarea, it seems like it simple place it in the textarea statically (i can delete it with del or backspace)
Can anybody advice me another type of adding tags?

Pardon me if this isn't what you are looking for. I didn't quite understand your question. Are you looking for a simple way to add tags to a textarea? If so:

function addbold()
{
document.myform.outputtext.value += "<b> </b>";
}

function addit()
{
document.myform.outputtext.value += "<i> </i>";
}

function addbr()
{
document.myform.outputtext.value += "<br>";
}

</script>

</head>
<body>

<form name="myform">
Enter your type here:<br>
<textarea name="outputtext" rows=10 cols=60></textarea><br>
<input type="button" value="<B>" onClick="addbold();">
<input type="button" value="<I>" onClick="addit();">
<input type="button" value="<br>" onClick="addbr();">
</form>

</body>
</html>

That should do :0)

Again, if this isn't what you are looking for, I am sorry.
