change the text inside a texterea from a function

Hi !
I have a web page that contains a form. The form includes a texterea and a flash object describing a keyboard.
Each button on the keyboard is in a matter of fact a <a href> tag.
I can not chabge the object...:(
Each button on the keyboard sends a number that represents a letter.
What I need to do, and have no idea how to do it, is:
Creat a function that recives the form and the correspanding number, checks the number and add the correct letter to the texterea in the form.
Really need you help... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
