Beginner Needing Help!!

[TempMan]

I want this text field to always display a number variable.
The variable "num" is defined in the head, how can I get a text box to
display this varibale??

<input name="Balance" type="text" value="num" size="8" maxlength="8">

Cheers

Re: Beginner Needing Help!!

<script language="javas cript">
var num = 5; // 5 or variable
</script>
<body onload="javascr ipt:document.my form.Balance.va lue = num;">
<form name="myform">
<input name="Balance" type="text" value="" size="8" maxlength="8">
</form>
</body>


This is how i'd do it.

Don't forget JS is case sensitive.

Leave off the javascript: prefix and that will do fine.

You have to add the value using Javascript. The code for this is:

document.forms['formName'].elements['Balance'].value = num;

You can either use this code anywhere after the element tag:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms['formName'].elements['Balance'].value = num;
</script>

(Remember to use the "type" attribute, not the "language" attribute
on the script tag, if writing HTML 4 or later).

Or you can add it using the documents onload handler:

<body
onload="documen t.forms['formName'].elements['Balance'].value = num;">

(don't put "javascript :" in front of HTML event handlers, it is not
a link, so the javascript: pseudo protocol doesn't apply).

Re: Beginner Needing Help!!

None of these work.
It's a game, the user opens the page then clicks on the amount they wish to
deposit.
I need the text box to display the amount in their bank. It will be $0 when
the page loads and them change as they play the game..

Below is the full code (which isn't bug free yet..)
