How to call functions in response to button or combo click 1

ganusha · Oct 1, 2002

Hi
i've a button like
<input type=button value="GO">
now i need to call a sub routine in the same page in response to the button click.

i've a combo box filled with HomeNo1,HomeNO2,HomeNo3
and everytime i click on any one option, the corresponding no should be displayed in the textbox adjacent to it.
i've written a function to do that.i need to call this function in response to the combo selection.
can anyone help.
Thanks

the first question to run the function from the button
<input type=button value="GO" onClick="function name">

the second..you can run the function after a user selects a option with the onChange event
<select onClick="function name">
<option>
etc...

like this
<html>
<head>
<script>
function sel() {
alert("hello!&quot

;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select onChange="sel()">
<option>
<option>one
<option>two
<option>three
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks but does the onclick function work with vbscript??

the onClick function does work with vbscript BUT will not work correctly with a select.
everytime the drop arrow is clicked it will fire the event if you use the onClick never giving the user the opurtunity to actually select anything
try this out and you will see what I mean, then change the event to onChange
<html>
<head>
<script language="vbscript">
function sel()
alert "hello!"
end function
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select onClick="sel()">
<option>
<option>one
<option>two
<option>three
</select>
</form>
</body>
