Auto Preview

Preview the result while typing. Works on any input (text,textarea):

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("textarea").keyup(function () {
        var value = $(this).val();
        $("p").text(value);
    }).keyup();

});

Notice: Due to security issues I did not allow HTML content. that would be so if you change the following line:

        $("p").text(value);
    /* into */
        $("p").html(value);

With more advanced jquery you can use BB-Code or even real html code (only some elements allowed) in the textarea. So the preview would be more realistic as this is a common way of submitting comments etc.
