Passing values to functions 1

supremus · Apr 20, 2001

G'day,
I am studing at college and need help. I am having problems passing a value from a text input box to a function.
Also, in some programs I am experimenting with the function prints results in a new window and in others, in the current window - not too sure how I am mucking this up.

<body bgcolor = "#ffcc99" text = "#800000">

<input type="text" name="input1" onChange=doit(66)>
</form>
<script>doit(33)</script>

supremus,

I would use Javascript as client side VBScript is not supported by Netscape. Try the following:

<html>
<head><title>Angus Bookstore Autumn Sale</title>

<script language="JavaScript">
function DoIt(Junk) {

var temp=document.form1.input1.value
document.write(Junk)
document.write(temp)

}
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor = "#ffcc99" text = "#800000">

<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="input1" onChange="doit(66)">
</form>
</body>
</html>

If you have to use VBScript, the main problem is that you need quotes around the doit(66) when you call it using the onChange event.

Hope this helps. Mise Le Meas,

Mighty

fyi: chr(34) is the equivalent of quotes in vbscript
