Hi I have a form with several rows and each has a text box labeled 'Status'. The user should be able to change the value of Status, then click Save and a GET query will be run in an iframe without interrupting the browser window. To do this I am using a onkeydown event so the Save button's (which is an a href link) href address is changed to what is in the box. But I can't get the box's value to change! I have spent several hours at this now and I'm a bit exasperated. Could someone please take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong? The crucial bit is bold. <form name='form4'> <input type=text size=8 name='4' value='' [B]onkeydown="document.links['href4'].href == 'this.value'" [/B] onchange="javascript:toggleLayer('saveenq4')"> <style type="text/css"> div#saveenq4{ margin: 0px 20px 0px 20px; display: none; } </style> <div id="saveenq4"> <a id="href4" target='RSIFrame'>Save</a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function toggleLayer( whichLayer ) { var elem, vis; if( document.getElementById ) // this is the way the standards work elem = document.getElementById( whichLayer ); else if( document.all ) // this is the way old msie versions work elem = document.all[whichLayer]; else if( document.layers ) // this is the way nn4 works elem = document.layers[whichLayer]; vis = elem.style; // if the style.display value is blank we try to figure it out here if(vis.display==''&&elem.offsetWidth!=undefined&&elem.offsetHeight!=undefined) vis.display = (elem.offsetWidth!=0&&elem.offsetHeight!=0)?'block':'none'; vis.display = (vis.display==''||vis.display=='block')?'none':'block'; } function handleResponse(a) { alert('enquiry ' + a) } function changeLink () { sel = document.addresses.list.selectedIndex; document.links[pos].href = document.addresses.list[sel].value; } </script> <iframe id="RSIFrame" name="RSIFrame" style="width:110px; height:110px; border: 0px" src="blank.html"></iframe> Code (markup):
Sure mate, didn't realise anyone was interested. I was using a double equals instead of single. And the single quotes were a problem so I got rid of them (otherwise the href would be set to literally "this.value"). The corrected bit is : onkeydown="document.links.href4.href = this.value"
