    help with "string" value from object

    I would like to display text from an external *.js file function within a section on a page.

    External function in terms.js:
    function fillTextArea(){
    var terms;
    terms = "You will heed and obey";
    return terms;
    }

    Page code snippets:
    <body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" onLoad="document.tForm.tc = fillTextArea();">
    <form name="tForm">
    ...
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">document.write( document.tForm.tc )</script>
    ...


    I have been able to load <textarea name="tc"> successfully so I'm inclined to think I have an issue with "string value" vs "object".
    I have tried tc.value, etc to no avail. I've tried <span id="tc"> and failed also.
    I am obviously grasping at straws so any help would be appreciated.

    Without knowing more about what your end goal is, wouldn't this work?
    Code:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">document.write( fillTextArea() )</script>
    If I have misunderstood, try posting some more code rather than the snippets.

    DOH!
    Right on the money, Dean.
    Thanks alot!

    I have an external *.js file with our "terms and conditions" loaded into a variable. Currently filling a textarea from it. Now I'm just trying to see if I could use that same code to display within a page as table data, rather than in a textarea box.
