set value won't work

[cleary1981]

Hi,

Can't see where I have went wrong with this line of code. What I want to do is everytime this box gets focus I want a default value of 1 to be shown.

[HTML]<input type = "text" value = "1" name = "quantity" id = "quantity" onfocus="docume nt.getElementBy Id('quantity'). value = 1"></td>[/HTML]

It is fine the first time as the value is already declared but on each attempt after it doesn't show

It should work, though you could use this.value and use a string instead of an integer. Check the ID is unique. Are there any errors?

thanks, using this.value did the trick

Good. Glad it's working :)
