Nope, I altered the code so that it worked!!!

Try...

function display(CheckBox){

document.forms.myForm.myTextArea.value+=document.forms.myForm[CheckBox.value
].value;
 }

But why not just store the value as the checkbox value rather than in a
hidden field, then use...

document.forms.myForm.myTextArea.value+=CheckBox.value;

HTH,

Chris
