    using word or excel to extract/parse data from text-only file?

    I'm fairly conversant with Word and Excel, so I feel fairly sure this CAN be done, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how. If the answer involves using Access or MS Query, that's OK too, but step-by-step instructions would be appreciated in that case. I have a number of text-only...

    how to limit the number of checkboxes a user can check?

    Unbelievable! This is amazing! This is why I come back to Tek-Tips -- for the best advice out there! I've only tested it briefly, but it looks like exactly what I need. You're a genius! It seems inadequate to say just "thanks," but thanks anyway! You've solved a big headache for me!

    how to limit the number of checkboxes a user can check?

    Well, first, let me say thanks for answering. However . . . . While I can see that your code will keep up with how many checkboxes have been checked, I don't see any mechanism for PREVENTING users from choosing more than 8 items, or for preventing them from submitting the form with fewer than 8...

    how to limit the number of checkboxes a user can check?

    OK . . . . I have a form with about 200 checkboxes, but the user must be limited to checking exactly 8 of them. If the user chooses fewer than 8, and tries to submit the form, he/she should see a prompt (preferably appearing in a frame) saying "You haven't chosen 8 options yet. Choose X more."...

    It works! Brilliant! Thanks! John Herring jhherring@yahoo.com

    "hidefocus" possible for hotspot polygonal areas in image maps?

    Strange. I would have sworn I had marked this thread, but no e-mail was sent alerting me to your reply. Well, it's marked now. At any rate, thanks for replying, and I'll be testing your suggestion shortly, perhaps today, perhaps Monday. As for the hidefocus="true" -- I don't remember...

    "hidefocus" possible for hotspot polygonal areas in image maps?

    I've used hidefocus=&quot;true&quot; within the <a> tag to keep the dotted rectangle from showing up around the thing that's acting as the link. So far, so good. No problems. Then, along comes the need to use an image map. I've got my polygonal areas defined, I've got my JavaScripts triggering...

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    You're right, I didn't say where/how I'm testing it. (Sorry.) I have been using IE 5.5 Win exclusively, and it fails every time. Never occurred to me that it might be the browser. Thanks for the advice. John Herring jhherring@yahoo.com

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    >>> If you read my post carefully, you'll >>> see display:block that I added to the style. Since that method is, in fact, exactly what I had done before I wrote in, and it didn't work (see below), I was moving on to other methods. No offense. >>> This will make the link to fill the entire...

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    Well, thanks to everyone's help, I've kind of gotten back where I started. :) I guess I should have mentioned from the start that I want the ENTIRE table cell to be highlighted whenever the user hovers over any part of the cell, not just the words between the <a> tags. Strangely, this is...

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    Well . . . first, thanks for your reply. In fact, the method you suggest is more or less what I had started with, but I had moved away from using <a> tags, because they require a separate set of styles *IF* you're trying to get the entire table cell to highlight when moused over (which I guess I...

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    Well . . . first, thanks for your reply. I have no doubt it will work, and I'll probably try it out at least as an exercise. I agree that it's more compact, and compactness was definitely what I was going for, so (since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of alternative) I guess I'll do this. I...

    placing javascript within style sheets??

    I've got a fairly lengthy set of onmouseover and onmouseout and onclick JavaScript statements occurring, over and over again, within a bunch of table cells. It would be unbelievably cool if there was a way to move all the JavaScript out to a style sheet. Is there a way to do that? If I could...

    buttons with javascript for onclick to URL plus frames

    You're absolutely right, Mr. Haran. Thanks for the tip.

    Perfecto! Neat, clean, solves the problem 100% -- as I have come to expect from the experts in this forum. Thank you, sir!

    buttons with javascript for onclick to URL plus frames

    Another odd one. Can anyone help? Page A is done in frames. A form in one frame on Page A has buttons at the bottom, like this: <form> <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Clear Form&quot; onClick=&quot;document.main_form.reset()&quot;> <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Send...

    making onclick perform two functions -- possible?

    Wow! This code is more complex, but I gladly agree that it seems to do the job. Thanks! Problem seems to be solved. The help you get in these forums is first-class! John Herring jhherring@yahoo.com

    making onclick perform two functions -- possible?

    Well, that was very fast, and very helpful! Thanks! I now understand better how to address the document in the other frame, thanks to the clear syntax of your reply. HOWEVER, it doesn't work as advertised. If I've copied-and-pasted correctly, there's some kind of problem remaining. Your code...

    making onclick perform two functions -- possible?

    Hello again. Yet another weird problem. Can some kind soul show me the right approach? I have a form in one frame, and links in a nav frame that allow the user to scroll to specific points within the form. These links are defined as hotspots within an image map in the nav frame. So far, thanks...
