Hi,

how do i fill up the blank in javascript?

i want to do below...

onLoad="document.form1.aaa aa.focus()"

where 'aaa aa' is the field name. i tried aaa%20aa but no luck. i believe there is a way to do it but i just can't remember it.

thanks in advance!!!!!

If you give your control an ID (might be same as "name" attribute), you can try this:

<body onload=&quot;javascript:document.getElementById(&quot;aaa aa&quot;).focus();&quot;>
<input type=text id=&quot;aaa aa&quot; name=&quot;aaa aa&quot;>

getElementById works for both Netscape & IE. I tried the getElementByName method but wasn't successful with it.

document.form1.elements['aaa aa'].value = 'bob'

...something like that... I may not be remembering perfectly.
