<form name=theform>
<textarea onkeydown="whynowork()" ID="inputbox" cols=25 rows=5></
textarea>
</form>

<div id=divtag></div>

<script>
function whynowork(){
document.getElementById("divtag").innerHTML =
document.forms['theform'].elements['inputbox'].value
}
</script>

Hello
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong here? When you enter
something into the textarea, it skips the first character. How can I
rectify this problem? :-)
