I am positive I did it earlier, I thought. So I retried, and was unsuccesfull. So I looked up some old code where I did it, only to find out I didn't do it that way. :-) I weaseled out: writing the HTML, then some JavaScript that filled the value. :-/ Anyway, writing HTML with formelements like that is ugly IMHO. Since all my pages are produced by PHP I seldom need document.write, most/all can be done at the server. Regards, Erwin Moller

The trend is the other way, not with document.write but with either innerHTML or DOM methods. Say we have a large table of data and you just want to edit an item here and there. It's easier for the user if he can click on the item he wants to edit and have that replaced with a textfield or some such and the updates would be returned to the server in the background using AJAX. At least that is what I was doing... simple stuff... Jeff > Regards, > Erwin Moller |
