This is my code:

document.getElementById("1").textContent = 

for(var i=0;i<cib006.length;i++){
 		document.write(cib006[i]+"<br>"));
 		}

What I was hoping this javascript code would do, is paste the entire contents of the cib006 array into the textarea. However, this does not work. How would I change my code so that it pastes the contents?

If I were to remove the document.getelement part, then it works fine (though this would wipe the page of its contents and just display the array. Any solutions?

Note: IDs should not just be a number, and should not (preferably) start with a number.

Anyway, if you are writing to a textarea then you should set its value. It's best to assemble a string first and you need to use line-breaks \n rather than (HTML) br's.

DON'T USE DOCUMENT WRITE! If you are (as you should be) running this code after the page has loaded, then document.write() will wipe-out the page.

var theTA = document.getElementById("1"); // change this from 1!
var taText = '', cib006L = cib006.length;
for (var i=0; i < cib006L; i++) {
    taText += cib006[i] + '\n';
}
theTA.value = taText;

Your original code is incorrect: You can't assign a for-loop to textContent (or even innerText)?!
