I'm not quite following. Global js variable, I assume, but it sounds like
this is merely a method of deciding _which_ textarea is to be filled. Where
does the data come from? As I mentioned, there's too much data to include in
the page served up as the form, so the application is going to have to go
back to the server to get the data. What I'd like to avoide, if possible, is
the need to submit the form in order to fill one (or all) of the form fields
from an existing record.
