I have text in a textarea and I add text to it with no problem. What I now

want to do is add the new lines on the top of the existing text instead of

at the end of the text.



Can somebody help me in this?



Regards,

Richard

var sNewText = "New Text to add in";



var sText = oTextArea.text;



oTextArea.text = sNewText + sText;

Thanks for this answer but I think I have to explain what I am doing.



I read text from a database and display it in a TEXTAREA. I add text into

this TEXTAREA and update the database with this updated textarea.



What I want is that the new added lines are on top of the old text. When

clicking on the textarea it will go to the left top corner, just what I

want. BUT, I create a kind of timestamp and that string I past into the

textarea when clicking on it. What happens is that the timestamp is added on

the end of the existing text and the pointer moves to the left top corner

(start place). 

What I want is that this timestamp is added at the begin of the existing

text. 

Does somebody have a clue?

I think that what you want could be done by the code that Alex proposed, 

but only if you convert it to client side JavaScript.



If you post some of the code you already have, it is easier to give some 

suggestions.
