I have a text area. I can set the text of it with
$("#mytextarea").text("foo")
I can prepend to the text area like this:
$("#mytextarea").prepend("foo")
But I cannot prepend to the jquery text() object like this:
$("#mytextarea").text().prepend("foo")
The reason I want to do this is so that if my user gets me to prepend this text:
$("#mytextarea").prepend("<script>alert('lol i haxed uuu!')</script>")
...the script executes and I lose.
Help?
