parameter passing

[mickeyg]

Rewriting mycount() to accept a 2nd parameter instead of using a hardcode variable (pwdcount). Logincount is coming back as zero when the email address is filled in.

What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Mickey

Caller...
function valdmlogin() {
var myform = document.forms[0];
loginErrorMsg = "";
logincount = 0;

if (myform.email) {
mycount(myform.email.value,logincount);
alert('logincount is ' + logincount);
}
}

Child function...
function mycount(myfield, mycounter) {
// myfield - field to check for value
// mycounter - optional counter field to increment
var mycounter = mycounter || 'pwdcount'; // if mycounter is null default it
if (myfield != "") {
return mycounter++;
}
}

you have to set logincount = the function mycount

like such:

    if (myform.email) {
        [!]logincount =[/!] mycount(myform.email.value,logincount);
        alert('logincount is ' + logincount);
    }
