How i can put values to text input?

Question

I have an input:

<input type="text" value="value" id="textinput" />

and a picture:

<img src="folan.png" value="hi" id="hi" />

I want that when I click the image it adds text to the input value. How I can accomplish this with PrototypeJS or pure JavaScript?

I tried this code:

document.getElementById("hi").addEventListener('click', function () {
    var text = document.getElementById('textinput');
    text.text = (text.text + ' after clicking');
});

What is this? `'ar text = '` Why is that being passed instead of the ID? — cookie monster, Jan 23 '14 at 14:56

No what? How is setting its `.value` not what you want? If that doesn't do it, then I have no idea what you're asking. — cookie monster, Jan 23 '14 at 15:00

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here:

var text = document.getElementById('ar text = ');

But ar text = isn't an element's id. Maybe you meant this?:

var text = document.getElementById('textinput');

Additionally, you don't want to set the text property on an input element, you want to set its value:

text.value = (text.value + ' after clicking');
