Thanx to all for the suggestions. a way out to do this is to refer to the
values of such textboxes by tracing bac k to the form element; i.e; using,
document.forms[0].elements[index].value, incase the input box is the first
element in the form.
Now, I have another issue. The problem is regarding a table.
If I have a table as below:
<TABLE Width =700>
<TR>
<TD Width =200></TD>
<TD Width =500></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
I have a form with 2 input boxes. When I fill in data into these text boxes
and submit, the columns in the above table are populated with the value.
However, if the value of the text box contains data like "aaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb". The
length of the data overrides the column width. So, I wish to break such
lengthy words into shorter ones by spacing it between. To do this, I want
to check if the length of the string has exceeded the width of the column.
How do I convert the string length into pixcels? Is it possible?
Thanx,
Divya.
