[jQuery] Re: how to append() to a textarea

[cfdvlpr]

OK, I tried $("#utmtrans").val($("#utmtrans").val() + 'test');

Here's the HTML before this gets called:

        <form style="display:none;" name="utmform">
                <textarea id="utmtrans" name="utmtrans" >
                </textarea>
        </form>

And here's what I see when I "view generated source" with the firefox
add on web developer toolbar.:

<form style="display: none;" name="utmform">

                <textarea id="utmtrans" name="utmtrans">                
</textarea>
        </form>

test, does not get appended there.  I actually don't need to append
the text, but I need to simply add it.  .html() didn't seem to work.
Anything else I can try?
