I'm making a little script using jQuery to send a sentence to a textarea by clicking on the text.
It does this fine however, if I edit the textarea to remove a sentence manually, I can no longer click on the sentences to send them to the textarea. Don't know why this happens. It's been a while since I played around with JavaScript.

I've tried to google this but cannot seem to find an answer. Does anybody have an answer for this? Or could you perhaps point me in the right direction to find the answer?

Many thanks guys,
Marauder

Hi,

A small change in the jquery script.
This works fine.

Hope this helps.
