<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function login()
{
alert("Hello World!")
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#" method="post" />
Login:<input type="text" name="name" id="login" />
<button type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="login()" />
</form>
</body>

Login:<input type="text" name="name" id="login" />

The problem here is that the name of your input field is the same as your function name and causes problems. Try this:

Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			function login()
			{
				alert("Hello World!");
			}
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<form action="#" method="post" />
			Login:
			<input type="text" name="name" id="login_field" />
			<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="login();" />
		</form>
	</body>
</html>

Take Care,
Mike
