An iFrame is used to display content from another page, so you have to put the text on another page and then display that page in an iframe.



If the page that frames has a text box on it, then yes, you will be able to type into the text area from the first page that is iframing the page with the text box on it.

Assuming your iframe is named "Editor", you can enter text into it:



<script language="javascript">var text_to_edit = "some text"; window.frames['Editor'].document.body.innerHTML = text_to_edit; </script>

Try to get the iframe document and then "document.write".
