How to insert a Dynamic Value into a javascript?

[Terry]

I've tried and tried, and thought I had it figured out, but still the
results indicate that I'm wrong.

Help is appreciated. I'm merely trying to grab a value from a form and
insert it into a javascript. Any hints as to what's wrong with the
code below?

Request.form("A MOUNT") as used below does not bring my value into the
javascript (This is related to GoToast ROI Conversion tracking).


<script language="javas cript">
<!--

if (typeof(ROIID) + '' != 'undefined')
{
TrackEvent('Sal e', request.form("A MOUNT"));
}
//-->
</script>

The way to get the value of a form control is:
document.forms['formId'].elements['controlName'].value

I have no idea what "request.form(' AMOUNT')" is supposed to do, or what
the names mean. Is "request" the form id and "AMOUNT" the control name?

In that case, forms don't have a form property, and it sure isn't a
function.

In HTML 4, the type attribute is required (and sufficient), so use
<script type="text/javascript">
[color=blue]

HTML-like comments are not necessary.

You don't need to add '', the typeof operator always gives a string.
