Take the following page:

<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"/>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="hashtag">#one</div>
    <div class="hashtag">#two</div>
    <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/home/index" method="post">
        <textarea id="text-box"/>
        <input type="submit" value ="ok" id="go" />
    </form>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {

            $(".hashtag").click(function() {
                var txt = $.trim($(this).text());
                $("#text-box").append(txt);
            });

        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

The behavior I would expect, and that I want to achieve is that when I click on one of the divs with class hashtag their content ("#one" and "#two" respectively) would be appended at the end of the text in textarea text-box.

This does happen when I click on the hash tags just after the page loads. However when I then also start editing the text in text-box manually and then go back to clicking on any of the hashtags they don't get appended on Firefox. On Chrome the most bizarre thing is happening - all the text I type manually gets replaced with the new hashtag and disappears.


I probably am doing something very wrong here, so I would appreciate if someone can point out my mistake here, and how to fix that.

Thanks.
