I am a novice programmer, and need some help figuring out how to upload a local text file to a textarea inside a website I'm building. I am very fluent in HTML/CSS, I have a decent knowledge of Javascript/JQuery, and I am just learning PHP. Any help you can give I would greatly appreciate. I have an input with type="file" and name="file" and I have a textarea with a class of ".textbox", and I have a button that runs the function "Upload()" Here is the javascript for my site.

```
var localfile = $("input[name=textfile]").val();

function Upload(){
  $(".textbox").append(file);
}

```

Thanks in advance!
