Append elements to text box in new line using HTML DOM

Suppose i have textbox :-
<input type="text" name="content" id="content"/>
And i am trying append text to this input box in the following manner:-
document.getElementById("content").value+= "A";
The output is something like:-
AAAA....
Each time, the text is getting appended in the same line, how can make the text to append each time to the new line? Like that of below.
A
A
A
.
.

Instead of an input type text, you can use a text area and then style it to look like a text box.
<textarea name="textarea_content" id="tx_content"></textarea>
document.getElementById("tx_content").value+= "A\n";
document.getElementById("tx_content").value+= "A\n";
JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/sx7t3ykc/

The input textbox will support one single line. not multiple lines. that is it's behaviour. That's why your text is shown in a single line.
If you need multiple lines, then you need to use <textarea></textarea> element

input is used for a single line. Try using textarea.
Refer code below:
<textarea type="text" name="content" id="content">
</textarea>
and js will be like this:
document.getElementById("content").value+= "A\n";

I have made you an example that appends a new "A" char every 5 seconds. I use textarea instead of the input tag.
setInterval(appendNewChar, 5000)
function appendNewChar()
{
document.getElementById("myTextArea").value += "A\n";
}
<textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea>

As #GuyFromChennai said, you have to use tag instead of , also, writing '\n' will make the line break, I tried this:
<textarea name="content" id="content"></textarea>
for (let i=0; i<3; i++){
document.getElementById("content").value+= "A\n"";
}

Editor HTML and CSS in Real Time that execute JAVASCRIPT too

I did a script that help me to make a web page in realtime, I can put html and css and everything work well, but I can't execute javascript because I am using a editor based in string, can you help me to find a way to execute javascript in this editor?
Pay attention, with this simple script you can put a whole page's code with CSS and HTML without escape and you'll see a formated page, but JAVASCRIPT don't work in this script.
function html() {
var str = document.getElementById("go").value;
document.getElementById("show").innerHTML = str;
}
<p id="show"></p>
<textarea id="go" onKeyUp="html()" width="100%" cols="50" rows="10">
</textarea>
UPDATE, at last, I got, this editor execute javascript too! Now I can build a whole page with javascript inside, thank you for the answers!!!
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#editor').keyup(function(){
$('#page').html($(this).val());
});
});
<p id="page"></p>
<textarea id="editor" width="100%" cols="50" rows="10" placeholder="you can use html, css and javascript here..."></textarea>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

You are adding everything in a paragraph tag. That is why nothing in script tags are working. You might want to append everything in the body tag:
function html() {
var str = document.getElementById("go").value;
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerHTML = str;
}
Can you clarify what you mean by "find a way to execute javascript in this editor?" What are you desired results?

Javascript won't run automatically like that, u need eval() to run it, I would suggest something like this:
Although it increases the security risk but it is one of the only ways to do it.
function html1() {
var str1 = document.getElementById("go1").value;
document.getElementById("show1").innerHTML = str1;
}
function html2() {
var str2 = document.getElementById("go2").value;
document.getElementById("show2").innerHTML = eval(str2);
}
<p id="show1"></p>
<p id="show2"></p>
<textarea id="go1" onKeyUp="html1()" width="100%" cols="50" rows="10"> </textarea>
<textarea id="go2" width="100%" cols="50" rows="10"> </textarea>
<br><button onclick="html2()">Try it</button>

Escape HTML tag in <textarea>

I have one <textarea> tag in my website where the user can put there HTML code and see its preview. My problem is when the user enter code below mention in my <textarea> my preview functionality getting fail :
<html>
<textarea>Some code to show</textarea>
</html>
So question is how can I escape this html code in my <textarea> tag as I know the problem is coming because </textarea> tag.
Any solution on this please.
Edit
Question is about using </textarea> within a textarea.
Problem visible here: http://jsfiddle.net/hrP6F/

EDIT: for your purpose this would do:
<textarea>
Outside Textarea
<textarea>Inside Textarea</textarea>
</textarea>
source: How can I embed a textarea inside of another textarea in HTML?
Or use contenteditable like someone already mentioned -> click
FIRST ANSWER: Im not sure I understand perfectly but still. You want to display the code inside text area somewhere else for instance?
You could do that on click like this (I reckon you are not statically putting nested text areas in html?):
HTML:
<textarea id="textarea" >Something code to show</textarea>
<button onclick="show()">show</button>
<div id="showArea"></div>
JS:
function show(){
var t = document.getElementById('textarea').value;
document.getElementById('showArea').innerHTML = t;
}
This is of course if what you want is to display html that is inside textarea. you could also put another textarea inside first one and it will work.
If you want the results to display dynamically you could use
<textarea id="textarea" onkeyup="show()">Something code to show</textarea>
This works even if you put your code (html and text area) inside text area - it displays it, I tested it

You can add a output div for preview purpose. Below is the jQuery script
HTML
<textarea placeholder="Enter your html"><b>test</b></textarea>
Run
<div class="op"></div>
JS
$('.run').click(function(){
$('.op').html($('textarea').val());
return false;
});

Why won't JavaScript run?

I was making an HTML code editor, I tested all of the HTML tags I know and they all work, except for script tags.
When I type <script>something</script> into the text area and click a button, the script doesn't execute.
Please help! Here is the code:
<span id="finishedProduct">
<p>When you enter code, your finished product will be here! Don't worry, if you make a mistake you can fix it later!</p>
</span>
<form name="userCode">
<textarea name="userCode" cols="90" rows="20" placeholder="Type your code here"></textarea></br>
<button type="button">Run Code!</button>
</form>
<script>
function makeCode() {
var userCode=document.forms["userCode"]["userCode"].value;
document.getElementById('finishedProduct').innerHTML = userCode;
}
</script>

Here is the working code:
<span id="finishedProduct">When you enter code, your finished product will be here! Don't worry, if you make a mistake you can fix it later!
</span>
<form name="userCode">
<textarea name="userCode" cols="90" rows="20" placeholder="Type your code here"></textarea>
<br/>
<button type="button" onClick="makeCode()">Run Code!</button>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function makeCode() {
var userCode=document.forms["userCode"]["userCode"].value;
document.getElementById('finishedProduct').innerHTML = userCode;
}
</script>
Here's a link to the JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Q2qLF/. I've removed some broken HTML, such as; a button shouldn't be contained in a anchor tag, I've added a 'onclick' in your button that will call the 'makeCode()' function and I've added the 'type="text/javascript"' into your script tag as this maximises compatibility.
Please let me know if you need any more help
I've updated my JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Xanco/Q2qLF/1/
Now there are 2 textareas, one for the HTML and one for the Javascript. i've also created a new function called 'makejs', this takes the value of the Javascript textarea and runs it through a 'eval' - this executes the Javascript passed to it.

I've put the answer in a Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/joshnicholson/P8eh9/
I'm not sure why you're wrapping the button element inside an anchor, but I would do it a slightly different way.
Here is the revised javascript:
var myButton = document.getElementById("btnRunCode");
myButton.addEventListener("click", makeCode);
function makeCode() {
var userCode=document.forms["userCode"]["userCode"].value;
document.getElementById('finishedProduct').innerHTML = userCode;
}
I added an id of "btnRunCode" to your button element, just to make things easier for me. See the Fiddle.

How can we get a string value from js file to HTML? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Append text to textarea with javascript
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
How can we pass a string from js file to HTML? Assume I have declared a string in privacy.js and I need to get in to my html text area.
I have imputed the script file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/privacy.js"></script>
I am assinging string value in to a div
document.getElementById("privacy_text").innerHTML = privacy_string;
I need the Sting value in text area
<textarea class="terms" readonly="readonly">
<div id="privacy_text"></div>
</textarea>

Don't embed a div in a textarea and rather assign it it's own id:
<textarea id="privacy_textarea"></textarea>
And then try to assign a value to it:
document.getElementById("privacy_textarea").value = privacy_string;
Here is a working example.
You could as well use innerHTML but textarea is a form element so I'd recommend to use value.

Give your textarea an ID like, this
<textarea class="terms" readonly="readonly" id="theTextarea">
</textarea>
and then use the following JavaScript to select it and change the value:
document.getElementById("theTextarea").value = "theValue";
If you have access to jQuery, you can use:
$("#theTextarea").val("theValue");
Fiddle
Either way, a div can't go inside a textarea.

If you can assign an ID to your textarea...
<textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea>
Then this should work:
document.getElementById("myTextArea").value = privacy_string;

Give that textarea an ID , then set value to text area like document.getElementById('your text area id').value=privacy_text; from javascript file.
eg:
<script>
var privacy_text="your string";
document.getElementById(textId).value=privacy_text;
</script>
<textarea id="textId"></textarea>

Try this:
document.querySelector(".terms").value = 'someValue';
You can find HTML elements from javascript using document.querySelector by using different type of "query filters" in the above example it is finding the text area by CSS class using .cssClass.
Regarding the div inside your textarea object please note that is not possible. You can only non-HTML text.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printValue()
{
var name="Anand";
document.getElementById("textbox1").innerHTML=name;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="textbox1"/>
<input type="button" value="GetText" onclick="PrintValue()"/>
</body>
</html>

Instead of .innerHtml, use this:
document.getElementById("privacy_text").value= "Hello";
