Taking text from div, inserting into text area, for editing, textarea doesn't show?

This is part of a simple notepad kind of widget and I am displaying the text on a div, then when I click the div, this should take the text from the div and insert it into a text area which I can then edit and then re-save. I decided to make it a php entry that I can edit/save/paginate. Anyway this is what I have:

The alerts are to track evaluation progress

function editLastDoing() {
var lastentry = $("#home-right-last-doing-tab").text();
alert(lastentry);
$("#home-right-last-doing-tab").text('');
$("textarea#last-doing").val(lastentry);
alert('tried to set text area html');
var currentvalue = $("textarea#last-doing").text();
alert(currentvalue);
document.getElementById('last-doing').style.display = "inline-block";
$("textarea#last-doing").css('display','inline-block');
alert('done');
}

I don't reach "done"

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("div").on("click", function() {
        $("textarea").text($("div").text());
    });
});
