javascript - How to append text to '<textarea>'?

Question

I have <textarea> where user can type in his message to the world! Below, there are upload buttons... I would love to add link to uploaded file (don't worry, I have it); right next to the text that he was typing in.

Like, he types in 'Hello, world!', then uploads the file (its done via AJAX), and the link to that file is added in next line to the content of <textarea>. Attention! Is it possible to keep cursor (place where he left to type) in the same place?

All that may be done with jQuery... Any ideas? I know that there are method 'append()', but it won't be for this situation, right?

Answer 1

Try

var myTextArea = $('#myTextarea');
myTextArea.val(myTextArea.val() + '
Your appended stuff');
