I have this code currently which works but I dont actually need the textarea any more so how can I set the "clip" to be the value?

Code:
<textarea id="fe_text" onChange="clip.setText(this.value)"><?php echo conversion($input);?></textarea>
<div id="d_clip_container">
	<div id="d_clip_button" class="my_clip_button">Copy It.</div>
</div>

Full Code:
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
		var clip = null;
		
		function $(id) { return document.getElementById(id); }
		
		function init() {
			clip = new ZeroClipboard.Client();
			clip.setHandCursor( true );
			
			clip.addEventListener('load', function (client) {
				debugstr("Flash movie loaded and ready.");
			});
			
			clip.addEventListener('mouseOver', function (client) {
				// update the text on mouse over
				clip.setText( $('fe_text').value );
			});
			
			clip.addEventListener('complete', function (client, text) {
				debugstr("Copied text to clipboard: " + text );
			});
			
			clip.glue( 'd_clip_button', 'd_clip_container' );
		}
		
		function debugstr(msg) {
			var p = document.createElement('p');
			p.innerHTML = msg;
			$('d_debug').appendChild(p);
		}
	</script>
I think it'd look something like...

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var content_is =  "<?php echo conversion($input);?>";
clip.setText(content_is.value);
</script>
Thanks for any ideas. If this isn't clear please let me know and I will try to be more specific.
