At first, the textarea has 'text content' (inside the tags), and it's shown inside. When you click the buttons, it updates this text content.
*But*, when you edit it manually, you are updating the textarea's VALUE attribute, not the the text inside. When you have both, the value attribute supersedes the text content. If you inspect the textarea using Firebug you will see that the text content is still being changed, it's just not being shown. Changing the function to use val() instead has it working perfectly. http://jsbin.com/ozoqi - ricardo On Oct 18, 4:10 pm, Balazs Endresz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In your case the proplem is that you're using .text() instead > of .value() on the textarea.
