hi,
i need to make a simple app with TV programs, names on buttons or checkboxes, and when i click multiple buttons (or select checkboxes) it copies values from them to a textarea that i can then copy and use elsewhere.. For example 5 buttons, each named MTV, MTV2, FOX, CNN, ZDF. when i click for example on 3 of those (MTV, FOX, MTV2) i get in an text area following: MTV; FOX; MTV2 (so i can copy that desired list of TV programms).
i found the code in HTML (below), but i dont know how to make tv program to stay in textarea, each time i click new tv program, it only shows that program, it does not make a list of programms

What I have tried:

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("button").click(function () {
            var text = $(this).text();
            $("input").val(text);
        });
    });
    </script>
    <style>
    .selected { color:red; }
    .highlight { background:yellow; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <button>HRT1</button>
        <button>HRT2</button>
        <button>NovaTV</button>
    </div>
    <input type="text" value="click a button" />
</body>
</html>

You need to get the existing text value, add whatever field separators you need, and then add the new button name. As it stands (as far as I can see) you are just replacing the text field each time.

I've removed the tutorials site link from your question, because it makes the question look like spam.
