Text input value equal to a variable

[JeffFinnan]

Is there a way to have a text input field equal some variable value so that it
changes if that variable changes? It does not have to by dynamic.

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="hW" size="4" value=some variable>

Thanks,
Jeff

This will place the value of Field1 into Field2 as soon as Field1 loses its
focus

<form name='myform1'>
Field1: <input name='f1' onChange='docum ent.myform1.f2. value=this.valu e'>
<br /><br />
Field2: <input name='f2'>
</form>

or

<form name='myform2'>
Field1: <input name='f1'>
<br /><br />
Field2: <input name='f2' onFocus='this.v alue=document.m yform2.f1.value '>
</form>

You want it to change if the variable changes, but it doesn't have
to be dynamic? You're not being clear. What is it that you're
trying to do?

==============
I have a frame load with a default value for a parameter that is use for sizing
a plugin (Chime). I then want to have a input box show this default value but
then allow a new number to be put in so that when the frame is reloaded, the
plugin has this new value and the new value is shown in the input box. I looked
at what gfraley5@earthl ink.net had written. I got it to do the above with

=============== ==============
<form name=form2>
<input type=button onClick="resetF ile()" value="Reset/Reload">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nb sp; Height and Width of Chime window=
<INPUT NAME="hW" size="6" onFocus='this.v alue=parent.upp er.heightWidth' >

</form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASC RIPT>
document.form2. hW.focus();
</SCRIPT>
=============== ==============

The statement, document.form2. hW.focus();, makes the number (default or new)
appear in the box when the page loads or reloads.

If there is a better way, let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff

This works fine in IExplorer. I was just checking Netscape 4.8 and I notice the
new value of hW goes back to the default, not the new number.

setFile() is in an external js file. The function is

function resetFile() {
parent.upper.he ightWidth = parent.viewer.d ocument.form2.h W.value;
parent.viewer.d ocument.locatio n.href = "chimeviewer.ht ml"

}

Actually, I was just rechecking and I notice that anytime I click on the page
the value of hW always goes back to the default in Netscape 4.8.
