put value in textarea using jquery
<p>I want to put the value in textarea using the jquery. I'm using the following code. It is not working.</p>

<pre><code>   &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.wysiwyg.css" type="text/css" /&gt;
   &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.wysiwyg.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    function wedit(topic){
    $("#wysiwyg").html(topic);  
    alert(id+topic+instructor+date+video);
   }
 &lt;/script&gt;
 &lt;form name="theform" action="" method="post"&gt;
 &lt;table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" width="680px"&gt;
 &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="150"&gt;Topic:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span id="wtopic"&gt;
  &lt;textarea name="wysiwyg" id="wysiwyg" &gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" 
  title="Save" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
 &lt;/form&gt;
</code></pre>
