Hello,
I would like to have a check box that when checked, will add some text into a text area. (And remove the text if the box is unchecked.)I can’t seem to figure out how. Can someone please help?

Thank you!
Steve

<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

<script language="javascript">

<!--

function addText(){

var text = "text to put in textarea"

if(document.form1.check1.checked){

document.form1.textarea1.value = text

}

else{

document.form1.textarea1.value = ""

}

}

//-->

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="form1">

<input type="checkbox" name="check1" onpropertychange="addText()">

<textarea cols="30" rows="10" name="textarea1"></textarea>

</form>

</body>

</html>
