I'm using the code shown below which displays 3 input fields - when you
click on an input field, a DIV is displayed which allows you to select a
task. On clicking the task, it is inserted into the appropriate input field,
and the DIV is hidden again.
I'm using a tooltip script from Dynamic Drive (ommitted for clarity) to show
the task description over the input field, but I am unable to reassign a new
function to the onmouseover event handler of the input field using ...
document.forms["timesheet"].elements[fld].onmouseover=ddrive(tip,300);
Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work (and how to make it work!)?
