"TextArea" is a Class that is part of the DOM (Document Object Model). This "library" is referenced automaticaly by the browser of the OLPC station and you don't need to add anything in the program to use it.

<html>
<head>
<form name="form1">
<textarea name="ta1" cols=30 rows=10 >Here will appear a message</TEXTAREA>
<input type=button name="bt1" onClick="WriteHello()" >
</form>
<script language="Javascript">
function init(){
document.form1.bt1.value ="Press the button!";
}
function WriteHello(){
document.form1.ta1.value ="HelloWorld!";
document.form1.bt1.value ="WOW!";
}
</script>
</head>
<title>TUTCity</title>
<body bgcolor="yellow" onload=init()>
</html>
