Is it possible to set the default text in TextEntry with Javascript

I would like to be able to set the text that appears in a TextEntry field through Javascript, so that when the timeline begins on the slide the value that is shown in the TextEntry is set by my Javascript.  Does anyone know if this is possible and how to do this, please?

Thank you.

    A text entry field is a variable so you cn set that using javascript

    Ah yes, you are correct.  I assumed that since the way to retrieve the value was through a trigger updating the variable rather than updating the variable directly, I guessed that it would not work the other way around.  Clearly I over-thought this.

    Thanks for you help.
