Java/HTML buttons and forms help

5 New Member

I used to know how to do this, but I lost alot of my old files on my old computer.

I'm trying to create a page that has different buttons on top (I know how to create the buttons), but then depending on which button is clicked, I want it to post text to a textarea. It would have to be a textarea because the text being posted is html code. I would appreciate any and all help. Thanks!

If you are trying to do something with buttons and javascript, heres an idea. Not sure if it's exactly what you want.....

Paste this HTML code into a text editor and save as a HTML page:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

<head>
 
<script type="text/javascript" >
 
function pasteCode(e) {

var Code = "";

if(e.name == "But1") {

Code = "You chose the BODY section of this page\n <body>\n<form name='buttonForm' action=''>\n</form>\n</body>"

document.buttonForm.codeDisplay.value =Code;

}

if(e.name == "But2") {

Code = "You chose the HEAD section of this page\n <head></head>"

document.buttonForm.codeDisplay.value =Code;

}

if(e.name == "But3") {

var Code = "You chose the NO CODE section of this page. Hit another one please....."

document.buttonForm.codeDisplay.value =Code;

}

if(e.name == "But4") {

var Code = "OK you get the idea now don't you!"

document.buttonForm.codeDisplay.value =Code;

}
 
}
 
</script>

<title>Button fun</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>
 
<body>

<form name="buttonForm" action="">

<input name="But1" type="button" value="#1 - Click me!" onClick="pasteCode(this)">

<input name="But2" type="button" value="#2 - Click me!" onClick="pasteCode(this)">

<input name="But3" type="button" value="#3 - Click me!" onClick="pasteCode(this)">

<input name="But4" type="button" value="#4 - Click me!" onClick="pasteCode(this)">
 
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"/>

<br/>

<br/>

<textarea name="codeDisplay" cols="100" rows="30">Hit a button and see what HTML stuff gets posted....</textarea>

</form>

</body>

</html>
