Jquery to populate input or textarea

Question

<div id="example"></div>
  <script type="text/javascript">
             jah = "<p>Browser CodeName: " + navigator.appCodeName + "</p>";
             jah+= "<p>Browser Name: " + navigator.appName + "</p>";
             jah+= "<p>Browser Version: " + navigator.appVersion + "</p>";
             jah+= "<p>Cookies Enabled: " + navigator.cookieEnabled + "</p>";
             jah+= "<p>Platform: " + navigator.platform + "</p>";
             jah+= "<p>User-agent header: " + navigator.userAgent + "</p>";

             document.getElementById("example").innerHTML=jah;

             </script>

I'm using the above code to compile some browser info I need to collect from a form. How can I get that info passed to a Input or Textarea?

Thanks in advance!

I'm slightly confused because you asked for jQuery in the title, but then your example is all about pure javascript. — Moni

By using $.val. Assuming #example is a selector pointing to the input field in question, you can use something like this:

$('#example').val(jah);

If you want to use pure JavaScript instead of jQuery, try this:

<form><textarea id="ta"></textarea></form>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jah = "whatever you want";
    var ta = document.getElementById('ta');
    ta.value = jah;
</script>

Assigning .value equals jQuery function .val(v);

just like this using jQuery's val method $('#Id').val(jah);

Where Id is the id of input for textarea. :)

$('#myinput').val($('#example').find('p').text());

where 'myinput' is id of your textarea. Paste this line after

document.getElementById("example").innerHTML=jah;
