How do you display values in a textarea using javascript.

ex. i have 2 radio buttons

o Adult =$9.99
o Child =$6.99

i need it to be, so that if i select adult in the radio button option , it will display 9.99 in my textarea at the other frame. Cause im using 2 frames for this html file. The radio buttons are at the left frame and the textarea is at the right frame.

  1. function setTextAreaVal(val) {
  2.     //First of all, you need to access the right frame.
  3.     //assuming the name of the frame is "right".
  4.     var frame = top.right;
  5.     // Then you need to access the textarea.
  6.     //If using the ID
  7.     var textarea = document.getElementById("textarea");
  8.     //Alternatively, if using the name, you also need the form name, e.g.
  9.     //var textarea = document.forms[formname].elements[textareaname];
  10.     //Finally, set the value using the value property.
  11.     textarea.value = val;
  12. }
Call the function onclick, e.g. onclick="setTex tAreaVal(this.v alue)".

I want to display plain text files in the browser. The files contain html and javascript and have a .txt extension. This works fine with files with just html. Unfortunately when showing files with javascript, I get an "error on page" warning and the page is not displayed. I suppose that when Internet Explorer discovers a <script> tag he starts to interpret it. This is not what I want. After all Internet Explorer is a browser and not an...

I am filling a TEXTAREA with text and links from a database. I need to display the <a href....> code in the TEXTAREA as a clickable link with _blank targetting. I realise I could simply use a TD but a closed table design and limited space require me to scroll the data loaded from the database. I need to avoid LAYERS for the sake of cross browser compatability (some 3rd world users) so would really like to stick to the TEXTAREA.

Is there any sample code to use Javascript to load and display a text file? It will be best if the user can select files using some kind of explorer. If that's complex, a text box to specify the file name will be fine as well. Once a text file is selected, I just need to display it in a text box. Thanks for the help.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
