- How to paste a string into a form field
- Posted by Mark on March 10th, 2006
Hi,
Can someone suggest the easiest way to create a link which when
clicked on will paste a particular text string into the current cursor
position (eg. in a text area on a form)?

Slight point of your question - as soon as the link is clicked, focus is
lost on the text area and gained by the link itself. What you're after
is some Javascript that will put a text string *at the end of the
current content of the text area*.
Have a look at forum code, specifically where you can click a smiley to
have it enter "
" etc.
