I want to set an initial text in a TEXTAREA based on the value selected
in an earlier SELECT box in the same document.

I tried something like

$init_text=set_init_text() ;
<TEXTAREA>
<?php echo $init_text ; ?>
</TEXTAREA>

function set_init_text() {
return <script>
document.forms[0].SelectBox.options[document.forms[0].SelectBox.selectedIndex].value
</script }


But I get a php syntax error with the <script> tag.

What's the correct way to do it ?
