You can use any of the 3 options, link, button, or image.          See the example in the form below. Directions:         Use these instructions to create a 'grab text' option adjacent to your textarea          within your forms. You can use any of the 3 options, link, button, or image.          See the example in the form below.                 Step 1:        The first thing you need to do is setup      some JavaScript in the HEAD of your HTML document that will do the 'grabbing'.      The function will take whatever form field is passed and set the focus to it      then select the text within it.        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>          </SCRIPT> Step 2:        The second thing you need to do is setup      the link that will pass the form field data to the JavaScript. It is important      to follow this step carefully. You can see in the example link below the JavaScript      call javascript:aceGrabText(document.form1.field1).The important part of this call is the "form1" and      the "field1" values. These actually tell the JavaScript what form and field      will be "grabbed". The textarea resides in a form, type the form name in place      of the "form1" name below. Then the textarea itself has a name, type that in      place of the "field1" name.        Note: You can add as many links as      you want, as many forms and textarea fields you have. Simply change the form      name and field name accordingly. They all share the same JavaScript function.        <a href="javascript:aceGrabText(document.form1.field1)">Click      to Select</a>        EXAMPLE FORM:    <form name="form1">    <textarea rows="12" cols="62" name="field1">Text      goes here.</textarea>    </form>        Paste the code between the open      and close HEAD tags within your document:Step 1 - Action:[code]<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'></SCRIPT>[/code] Step 2 - ActionChoose from any of the 3 options, link text,            button, or image link. Paste the code between the open and close BODY            tags within your document where you want the "grab text" link to appear:   Then use Control-C to copy the text into your web page. Link Text Option[code]<a href="javascript:aceGrabText(document.form1.field1)">Click to Select</a>[/code] Button Option[code]<input type="submit" value="Grab Text" onClick='aceGrabText(document.form1.field1);'>[/code] Image            Option[code]<input type="image" src="image.gif" onClick='aceGrabText(document.form1.field1);'>[/code]   </blockquote>
