Menu
I’m trying to write a code that:
1. Takes the text entered into a texarea
2. Creates a div to stick that text into
3. Assigns that div a specific ID
4. And finally writes the div within another specific div
Unfortunately, my DOM commands are a mess and I need a quick lesson.
[code=html]
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function testreadtext()
{
var txtval = document.getElementsByTagName(‘textarea’)[0].value;
var msgtxt = document.createTextNode(txtval);
var msgdiv = document.createElement(‘div’);
var msgfil = msgdiv.appendChild(msgtxt);
var msgchg = msgfil.setAttribute(‘id’,’fsmsg’);
var msgbox = document.getElementById(‘msgs’);
msgbox.appendChild(msgchg);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id=”msgs”></div>
<textarea></textarea>
<input type=”submit” onclick=”testreadtext();” />
</body>
</html>
