Question

I have one Listbox named "List1" and one button says "Append".
I have on textbox named "TextDescription".
I want to put the select values from the listbox to textbox on click of append button.

So can anyone tell me how to do this?

You could use the .val() function. So assuming you have a select with id="myselect" and a text input with id="mytext" you could do this:

var values = $('#myselect').val();
if (values != null) {
    // concatenate the selected values with , so that we can add them to the textbox
    $('#mytext').val(values.join(','));
}

And here's a live demo illustrating it in action.
