    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function append(){
    var a = document.getElementById("fname").value
    var b = document.getElementById("lname").value
    document.getElementById("nameval").value=a+'\n'+b;
    }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form name="samp" method="post">

    Works just fine for me, when I click in the textarea (after having written a first and last name in the text fields) it puts the first name on the first line and the last name on the second. Is this not how you want it to function?
