hey there, I'm trying to figure out how to get written text in a textfield to appear in a table using the document.write system. Say if somone writes "Welcome to my profile" in the textbox, then click the preview button, and "Welcome to my profile" appears straight away in a coloured table. I would also like a possible back button so the user can retype a different message in the textbox if he/she made a error in the message. for this button I just gonna simply use onclick="javascript:history.go(-1)" to get it back 1 page. heres a code for what i'm trying to do: <html> <head> <title>Profile Preview</title> </head> <body> <form name="sectiona"> <input type="text" name="headlinei" size="63"> <input type="button" value="Preview Section" onclick="showit();" name="headline"> <input type="reset" value="Reset Section" name="resetheadline"> </form> <script> function showit() { document.write('<table border="1" cellspacing="0" width="50%" cellpadding="0">'); document.write('<tr>'); document.write('<td width="100%" height="200px" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">'); document.write('' + document.forms.sectiona.headlinei.value); document.write('</td>'); document.write('</tr>'); document.write('</table>'); } </script> </body> </html> Code (markup): The code document.write('' + document.forms.sectiona.headlinei.value); Code (markup): Confuses me so i'm unsure about it. I know its possible... a few years ago i had successfully done it but I have to get it all over again please help. -Jason
