JQuery Passing Json value to textarea issue

I am having a problem passing a json value to a textarea.

This works:

alert(results.messages[0].text); //Result is Message 1

$("#myTextarea").val('Some Message'); //Adds Some Messsage to myTextarea

My problem is when I try this:

$("#myTextarea").val(results.messages[0].text);

This above does not add the value to the textarea.

Any ideas why?

Use text for text area. What you have should work. Don't forget to parse your JSON.

var results = '{"messages":[{"text":"some text from json"}]}'
results = JSON.parse(results);

$("textarea").text(results.messages[0].text);
