Please enclose your posted code in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).

This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.

Please use [code] tags in future. Thanks!

Im not getting any value in the text box.

That's because q and r are not strings and are not defined anywhere. Pass them as strings:

onclick="type('q')"

Secondly, the text field does not have an id, so using document.getElementById("textfield") won't work (in most browsers, at least). Give your text input field an id.
