JQuery textarea wont update after inputting value












1














So I have this textarea where it gets value from a .txt file, which works pretty good, but when I change the select option after inputting a new value in the textarea it wont update when the selected option is changed.



SCENARIO 1:
1. Change the option, textarea updates (OK)



SCENARIO 2: (CAN'T UPDATE)
1. Change the option
2. Input something in the textarea
3. Change the selected option and the textarea wont update!



I have issued a mock JSFiddle for this. How could I update the textarea even after inputting something in the textarea?



http://jsfiddle.net/jxsew83L/1/



   <section class="content">
<select name="select_template" id="select_template" class="form-control">
<option count = '' content = ''>--Select--</option>
<option count = '' content = 'CONTENT 1'>CONTENT 1</option>
<option count = '' content = 'CONTENT 2'>CONTENT 2</option>
</select>


<div class="descriptionarea">
<span style="padding: 5px;">Selected Clients <i class="fa fa-fw fa-eye"></i></span><br>
<textarea id="text_content" name="text_content" rows="10" cols="60" title="" tabindex="0"></textarea><br>
<span class="buttonfortxtarea"><button id = "btn_id" class= "btn btn-primary btn-flat" count = '' content = '' filename = ''>SEND</button></span>
</div>
</section>


and for the Jquery



     $(document).on("change", "#select_template", function(e) {
var content = $('option:selected', this).attr('content');
var count = $('option:selected', this).attr('count');
var filename = $('option:selected', this).attr('filename');
$(this).parent().parent().find('#text_content').html('');
$(this).parent().parent().find('#text_content').value(content);

$(this).parent().parent().find('#btn_id').attr('count', count);
$(this).parent().parent().find('#btn_id').attr('filename', filename);


});
