Looks like JavaScript, probably using some framework like jQuery. — Ilmari Karonen, Mar 03 '12 at 20:01
Looks like jQuery to me. In that case it's a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/415602/set-value-of-textarea-in-jquery --- please use the search before you ask a new question. — Felix Kling, Mar 03 '12 at 20:02

Assuming it is jquery that you are using. You can set the value of your text area with something similar to the following code:

var msgContent = msg.text();
$("#mytextarea").val(msgContent);

Hope this helps.
