I want to Thank Ken and Christopher for their input on this topic at last nights meeting.
I have begun implementing Ken's suggestion of Clicking on a select box and having the field input into the text area. The Javascript works for a regular <textarea> tag however the same code will not work with the <cftextarea>. Is there any special syntax that I need to do to get the javascript to work with the <cftextarea> tag below is the code i am using to update the textarea var k = document.forms(0).fields.options[document.forms(0).fields.selectedIndex].value; document.forms(0).textbody.value = k; This exact javascript works when I change the <cftextarea> tag to a <textarea> tag, but does nothing for a <cftextarea>.
