I'm using a form where a user enters data in a textarea which is then copied to all other textareas on the page. Currently I have it working for 2 textareas using this code:
Now what I really want is to pass a variable into the function which will contain how many textareas need to be filled.Code:<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function copyText() { var a = document.getElementById('a'); var b = document.getElementById('b'); if (a != null) { b.value = a.value; } } </script> </head> <body> <textarea rows='5' cols='30' id="a"></textarea> <input type="checkbox" onclick="copyText()" /><br><br><br> <textarea rows='5' cols='30' id="b"></textarea> </body> </html>
So my function psueudocode might look like:
function copytext(number)
{
for i=0 to number
do (copy text areas)
}
My question is how I name each textarea id on the fly using my loop and hence bening able to use its .value attribute. Or is there an easier way to do it?
