Writing to a Form field

Writing to a Form field

OK, so I'm stuck again. I'm trying to write the content of the div.zusammenfassung to a textarea field named "ic_zusammenfassung" and then submit the whole form to a php script.

This is what I came up with:
  1. var zusammenfassung1 = $('.zusammenfassung').html();    
  2. $('input[name=ic_zusammenfassung]').val('zusammenfassung1');

And this is the textarea in the form:
  1. <textarea name="ic_zusammenfassung" class="zusammenfassung"></textarea>

But it doesnt work. The Mails I receive only contain all the regular form-fields but for "ic_zusammenfassung" only a bunch of <br>.

If anybody has an Idea, I would be thankful.
