I have an sql table and each cell is a button. I want to make a function so when a button is clicked, the text value of the button will be displayed in a textbox somewhere else on the page.

What I have tried:

I have tried using a javascript function but it only copies the text from the first button. Is there another way to do it, maybe with ajax or jquery.

Almost certainly. But since you haven't shown us any of the code you're using, we can't tell you how to fix it.

At a guess, are you using the same ID for all of the buttons? Element IDs in an HTML document need to be unique.
