How do i set the contents of a text

minoad · Dec 6, 2001

How do i set the contents of a text box to be a variable outside of a form. The below line is the input that i wish to set the varible to. I have tried document.phone.value, but get an 'object does not support this property error'.

<input type="text" name=phone>
<input type="button" name="button" value="Submit" onclick="writefileData()"></td>

Thanks,
Micah A. Norman

The only thingI changed when I just tried was I put it inside a form and it worked fine.

Here is my exact code:

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<SCRIPT Language=VBScript>
function writefiledata()
document.test.phone.value = "Hello"
end function
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body>

<FORM name=test>
<input type="text" name=phone>
<input type="button" name="button" value="Submit" onclick="writefileData()">
</FORM>

</body>
</html>
