changing textarea based on input?

[Rifts]

hello everyone I have a drop down box and a textarea. I want the textarea to change depending on what is selected from the drop down box. here is my code im not sure what to change... i found this code and made changed but its not working and im guessing it has something to do with the "new Option" since its not making another drop down box.

 

Thanks for the help

You want the textarea to change how? The code has nothing in it that would change the textarea. The code is trying to set options for a textarea? There is not such thing. Are you trying to populate the textarea? Honestly, I can't figure out what it is supposed to do. Please explain.
