When you use document.write() AFTER a page has loaded, it destroys the current document and creates a new one. So this function is able to access the first textarea, but after it uses document.write() the first time, the other textareas no longer exist.If you don't want to use alert() to report a bunch of data, you can change the innerHTML of some page element that exists just for this purpose. Or in this case, you could write the information to the value property of one of your textareas.
