Hi All,
Took the littlun's out sledding this weekend-- grrrreat time! My daughter
(7) had something of a hard time with the concept of having to walk up after
each ride down. I can see her point.
I'm missing something in the code below...
It's a script which is supposed to clear the default text in a form field,
the first time the field is focussed on. Subsequent visits to the field have
no effect. The first version does this, but it's in explicit form. I wanted
to write a more general version. I know the arguments are being passed, but
the variables, "theForm" and "theField" apparently aren't being recognized
as I was hoping.
Here's the code. I'll pull your sled up the hill if you have a clue about
what I'm clueless about!
-------
<html>
<script type="Javascript">
// this little script is supposed to clear the content of a field the first
time the field is entered to remove default messages
function clearOnce(theForm, theField) {
var ncr_text = "enter ncr numbers, a, b, c";
// this explicit one does work
if (document.imageupload.ncr_number.value == ncr_text)
{document.imageupload.ncr_number.value="";}
}
function clearOnce2(theForm, theField) {
var field_and_form = new Array()
field_text[1] = "enter ncr numbers, a, b, c";
field_text[2] = "enter a part number";
field_text[3] = "enter an order number";
for (var index = 0;index <= field_text.length; index++){
if (document.theForm.theField.value == field_text[index])
{document.theForm.theField.value="";}
}
}
// -->
</script>
