Define "format" -- how do you want it formatted?!? Much less what's that got to do with javascript since step one should always be, PARTICULARLY ON FORMS, to make it work WITHOUT scripting FIRST! (since anything you do client-side MUST be duplicated server-side on a form) Of course, that train wreck of outdated busted inaccessible markup can't be helping matters... where are your LABELs and FIELDSET? Why are you using tables for layout like it's still 1997? Why are you blindly dumping anchors at the top with nothing to provide them semantic meaning or make them anything more than a run-on sentence? Basically you've got bigger problems right now than dicking around with form elements using javascript.
Hey there, I can see from your posts that you are a busy member of the site, but that message was a bit harsh. At least point the poor chap/lass to a resource where they can find out more about what you are telling them. They are on here for some type of help, not an aggressive diatribe about how bad their code is. Peace
Don't worry al-clark7. It doesn't really bother me to read posts like the one before yours. I was asking for help not a lecture on how to do things. I guess some people prefer to show they know things by putting other people down, while other help for just the sake of helping. By the way, I don't really know why is he talking about 1997, it doesn't seem like he/she was born then. Peace
