HTML/Javascript question

I have an input element named txtWord

I am trying to reference its value onclick of another element.

I tried document.txtWord.value, but it didnt work.
I also tried document.forms.form1.txtWord.value, no avail.

form1 is the name of the form.

What is the correct way to reference it?

Thanks.

 

document.formname.formelementname.value

so

document.form1.txtWord.value

it's case sensitive too.

 

Kodo, you are the man!! Always lending me ahelping hand. i really appreciate it!

 

couldnt i have found that out with an alert?

for instance, could i have done somehting like this to get the correct path...
alert(this.{something});

 

I'm not sure. My javascript knowlege is awful. I only know that little bit because of other previous experience in using scripts that reference form elements.

 

coulda just used document.all.txtWord.value to start with, its a bit cheating though

 

isn't that slower?

 

this isnet working. do you see what the problem is?

<form id="frm" method="post" runat="server">
&nbsp;<INPUT type="amount" value=1" onclick="this.value='';">
<INPUT type="button" value="Lookup" onclick="alert(document.all.amount.value);">
</form>

 

dude.. I posted an answer for that at like 3pm today.. I have no idea why it didn't post.
Anyway. Take a look at what your input type is for the amount.. you set your input type to "AMOUNT" when it should be "TEXT". The NAME should be "AMOUNT"

;<INPUT type="text" name="amount" value=1" onclick="this.value='';">

 

Thanks again. Kodo to save the day! It is always something simple.
