How can I code a button to change the values in multiple text fields? Do I
use an && or something similar? It would be very nice to see an example,
because I cannot find this in the tutorials that I have been reading.

.... onclick="a.value='A';b.value='B';c.value='C'; ....">

Assuming textfields are in same form as the button, and that the
textfields are named "a", "b" and "c".

What do you mean?
Can you clarify the question?

Okay, I have the javascript in the same form as my text fields, and the
fields are correctly named. When I push the button on the web page, nothing
happens. Can you help me further? Thank you very much. (I'm using a PHP
loop to generate the part after onClick, and that is why I have some empty
values)
Each of the fields that will be manipulated is a text (<input type='text'
....)
<script language="JavaScript"><!--

if (window.print)

document.write("<input type='button' value='This week is next week'
onClick=sun10.value='';sun11.value='hi';sun12.valu e='hi';sun13.value='';>");

//--></script>

See example:

http://www.mickweb.com/demo/dynamicButton.html

<form>
<input name="sun13" type="text" value="stuff">
<input name="sun11" type="text" value="stuff">
<input name="sun12" type="text" value="stuff">
<input name="sun10" type="text" value="stuff">
<script type="text/JavaScript">
document.write("<input type='button' value='This week is next week'
onclick=\"sun10.value='';sun11.value='hi';sun12.va lue='hi';sun13.value='';\"") </script>
</form>

There are browsers where this will fail because the properties of the
containing form element is not added to the scope chain of the onclick
handler. A safer method is:
onclick=\"var f=this.form.elements;f.sun10.value='',f.sun11.valu e='hi' ...

Yes, you're probably right. But I haven't found a browser that chokes on it.

hmmmm something is still wrong, even if I use your exact script, and I know
that the script should work because it works on that page.
Does it matter that some fields do not exist that the button refers to?
Does it matter that the name is in single quotes? Does it matter that it is
separated by a few rows and the submit button? Did I put a semicolon in the
wrong spot? Thank you very much for helping me, even though I'm sure that
I'm a frustrating beginner to you.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is what I have in php, and then I will show you how it gets translated:

echo"<TD><input name='$sun_one' type='text' value='$sun1[$i]'></TD>";

/*some table rows are here]*/

<TR>
<TD>
echo"javabutton is $javabutton<br>
<script language=\"JavaScript\"><!--
document.write(\"<input type='button' value='This week is next week'
onclick=\\\"$javabutton\\\">\")
//--></script>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>";

Here is the translated web page exerpt:

<TD><input name='sun12' type='text' value='34'></TD>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--

javabutton is
sun10.value='';sun11.value='hi';sun12.value='hi';s un13.value='';<br>

document.write("<input type='button' value='This week is next week'
onclick=\"sun10.value='';sun11.value='hi';sun12.va lue='hi';sun13.value='';\"

")
//--></script>

Absolutely. You can test for this in PHP, or in js.
- if(sun10 && sun11 && ...)
Does it matter that the name is in single quotes?
NO

Does it matter that it is separated by a few rows and the submit button?
No, as long as the textboxes and form controls are within the same form.
And within <form> </form> pair.

Did I put a semicolon in the wrong spot?

Looks OK

[sayimsick]

Thank you VERY much. The button works perfectly now.
