Textbox to div

[toolman]

Hi
I am looking for a script that will allow me to type in a text box then instantly disply it somewhere else on a page. Any ideas what its called or where to get one?

thanks

you want something like this:

<div id="someDIV" name="someDIV" border="1"></div>
<input type="text" name="someTEXT" onKeyUp="document.all.someDIV.innerHTML=this.value;" />

Put the DIV wherever you want it on the page. When a user types in the "input" textbox, the DIV value changes automatically. If you want a multi-line textbox, just remove "input type="text"" and change it to "textarea" you then need to close it (</textarea>)

or, if u want to learn a little server side scripting, you cud always just use php to echo the variable which is sent over thru the form. thats guarenteed to work if its done rite

This can be done with AJAX but it would call on your server every second (which could be a resource hog).
