Buying $5 for quick javascript help

I'm trying to setup a few dynamic hyperlinks to update a value on a form. There can be multiple input boxs so i'm trying this

<form method="post" name="video">
<input type="text" name="data_db_database_id id="data_db_database_id" value="db_data_value" maxlength="4" size="4"></td>
</form>

PHP:

This loads from a database in which the table has 2 rows so on the screen i have 2 input boxes with names of "data01", "data02" and id's of "data01","data02" the form details are outside of the loop


I have 1 java script function called 'setdefaultvalue' and i have a dynamic hyperlink loaded next to each box to set a default value if i need to. the calling code is

<a href=# onclick="javascript:return setdefaultvalue(7551)"ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">Set default</a>				  

PHP:

Which calls the below value and set the default value for the first field and works perfectly.

function setdefaultvalue(value){
var MyElement = document.video.data01;
MyElement.value = value;
}

PHP:

However if I try and make the function take a input box via calling it. I can't get it to work.

function setdefaultvalue(value,whatele){
var MyElement = document.video.getElementById(whatele);
MyElement.value = value;
}

PHP:

And the hyper link code is below

<a href=# onclick="javascript:return setdefaultvalue(7551,'data01')"ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">Set default</a>				  

PHP:

Anyone able to help me out on this one. $10 via paypal for the first person to give the correct solution

 

replace this

var MyElement = document.video.getElementById(whatele);

with

var MyElement = document.getElementById(whatele);

 

Hi I tried that before but I get a MyElement is null javascript error

 

The part I forgot to add about this was it's using the smarty php overlay but shouldn't make too much of a difference to the java script as long as it's properly setup

 

Fixed by me...thanks
