Hello All,
I am tring to implement a small texteditor.

ASP.NET

<asp:TextBox ID="txtEnquiryText" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" CssClass="text_sms_panel"></asp:TextBox>
<div class="Item_Container">
<div class="test tag">{name}</div>
<div class="test tag">{course name}</div>
</div>

when i click on tag(eg.{name}), the clicked tag should get append to text of textbox.
it is working fine. but when i give backspace and erase the text ,on next click the text of textbox doesn't changes. and backspaced text still there when i debug the jquery code

JavaScript

$('.tag').click(function () {
                var tag = this.innerHTML;
                var smstext = $('#<%=txtEnquiryText.ClientID %>').text();
                smstext = smstext + tag;
                $('#<%=txtEnquiryText.ClientID %>').text(smstext);
            });

Please check with using val() method to set or getting the value for the textbox rather than using text() method as below :-

NOTE : This text() method works on both HTML and XML documents. Cannot be used on input elements. For input field text use the val attribute.
