This is normal HTML. In TW, you can't use the body tag and the script tag
can't be inside the html tags. Then there's problem with place and stuff,
so I suggest using the code of the function directly in the onclick handler
of the button, like this:
<html>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" id="myTextarea">
342 Alvin Road
Houston, Texas
USA
Earth
Solar System</textarea>
<textarea rows="4" cols="50" id="myTextarea2">
Nothing here</textarea>
<p>Click the button to copy the highlighted content to myTextarea2.</p>
<button type="button" onclick="var txt =
document.getElementById('myTextarea'); var start = txt.selectionStart; var
finish = txt.selectionEnd; var sel = txt.value.substring(start, finish);
document.getElementById('myTextarea2').value = sel;
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = sel+' was extracted from
Textarea 1 and pushed into Textarea 2';">Copy highlighted</button>
<p id="demo">Nothing yet</p>
</html>
This works in TWC.
