Working with this option now, results of single entry item working great. Seeing some difficulty in providing the variable of different text entries based off selection / onclick.

Hi all, I am working with a drop down to auto populate a textarea with preset fields / lines. The issue I keep having is the formatting to the text being populated has no lines/breaks to it. Below is the current java script snip it and the form as it stands. I am looking to find if there would be a better method to doing this, including creating a php form utlizing ajax to pull the information. Thoughts? Javascript: <script type="text/javascript">function updateTextBox(val) { if(val == "1") { document.forms['Form'].elements['TextBox'].value = "Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, Line 4";<--- In theory should display as entered, however this does not occur on any line break/Also /n/p/br/&nbsp do not work to adding lines/breaks. } else if(val == "2") { document.forms['Form'].elements['TextBox'].value = "Line 1 &nbsp Line 2"; } } </script> Form: <form name="Form"> <select onchange='updateTextBox(this.value)'> <option value=""></option> <option value="1">Test</option> <option value="2">Test2</option> </select> <tr> <td> <div align="left"><span id="copy"> <textarea name="TextBox" cols="29" rows="30" style="font-family: Verdana" class="size12"></textarea> <br /> </span></div> <table width="20%" border="0" align="left"> <tr><td><input name="Button" type="button" onclick="javascript:selectcopy('Form.textbox')" value="Copy Notes" /></td></tr> <tr><td><input name="RESET" type="RESET" value="Clear Notes" /></td></tr> </table> </div>
