Message:</textarea> on a form called myform2, and i have another form
and textarea on another page. how am i to send the text from one from
to the other form?

Try this:

<script>
function copyValue(){
document.form2.text1.value = document.form1.text1.value
}
</script>


1. Enter text in this textarea:
<form name="form1">
<textarea name="text1">

</textarea>
</form>


2. Click here...
<form>
<input type="button" value="copy value" onClick="copyValue();">
</form>

3. your text will be copied to this textarea
<form name="form2">
<textarea name="text1">

</textarea>
</form>

You are going to need some server side script or programs to make a
message board, such as perl, php or asp.
