Title: Event.observe

No, but the text input has the same id, at least in the code snippet you sent. That is what I was referring to.

Actually, my original code doesn't have an ID for the HIDDEN input. They have the same Name though. Strange.

Actually, I think the problem is that you have 2 inputs with the same id. That is technically impossible, although Firefox tends to not complain about it (I think it just grabs the first match). IE just dies because it doesn’t know what to do. At least, that’s what I seem to remember. 2 elements are not allowed to have the same id. Same name is fine, but be advised, most server software will pack all of the values into an array, so you might be expecting a string and get an array instead.

I figured out what the problem is. I thought _javascript_ watched the ID not the name. As you can see, I've got a hidden input before the checkbox. That is on purpose. Since IE doesn't send unchecked checkboxes, I had to place a hidden before the actual checkboxes to clear the values in the SQL or unchecking the box wouldn't have any effect. This works in Firefox and until now, it worked in Internet Explorer. Is there any other way I can specify the checkbox input only?

I just realized that this works in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer. Why would that be?

Aaarrrggh. Here's the actual code that I need to work:

                        :
                        <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="assess_int9_s0" CLASS="" STYLE="" ID="assess_int9" VALUE="sfsadfsdf">
                        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="_javascript_" TYPE="TEXT/_javascript_">
                                Event.observe('assess_int9', 'click', function() { ClearTextIfNotChecked('assess_int9', 'assess_int9_s0') = ''; });

</SCRIPT>

However, I did this as a test and it doesn't work either and no error:

                        :
                        <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="assess_int9_s0" CLASS="" STYLE="" ID="assess_int9" VALUE="sfsadfsdf">
                        <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="_javascript_" TYPE="TEXT/_javascript_">
                                Event.observe('assess_int9', 'click', function() { alert('test'); } );
                        </SCRIPT>
