Found something that does it.

&lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt;
function InsertText(input, insTexte) {input.value += insTexte;}
&lt;/script&gt;
<form action="" name="form">
<input type=button onClick="javascript:InsertText(document.form.Text1,'ccccc');" value="button"><br>
<textarea name="Text1" Rows=5 Cols=20></textarea><br>
<input type="submit">
<input type="Reset">
</form>

thanks - Ted

No. The input from database will replace textofsomesort in text='textofsomesort'. When the button is clicked, then the text will go into the textarea.

Try the form. Type in and text and click the button. What ever text you type will be replaced by "textofsomesort".

The problem is not getting text into the text by selection but by just clicking. So the code

onclick="document.selection.createRange().'

is the problem.

You can put text content inside the some content fields.

Is that what you're trying to do?
