Hi all,
The following JS function gives a runtime error - 'Error myButton is
undefined' when the function tries to call itself.
The function basically tries to [simply] animate a buttons text to show
the user that something is happening . . .
function buttonText(myButton) {
var A='/', B='-', C='\\', D='|';
var Text=eval(myButton+'.value');
switch (Text) {
case '|':
eval(myButton+'.value=A');
break;
case '/':
eval(myButton+'.value=B');
break;
case '-':
eval(myButton+'.value=C');
break;
default:
eval(myButton+'.value=D');
break;
}
setTimeout('buttonText(myButton)',150);
}

Hi,
I think in your call:
setTimeout('buttonText(myButton)',150);
button doesn't contain the original value (a reference to a button??).
You better rewrite your code and pass a number of string to the function.
setTimeout('buttonText(1)',150);
Of course you'll have to change the function too, so it understands 1.
when receiving 1, set 2 in the timeout-call.
etc.

function buttonText(button_id)
{
var b = document.getElementById(button_id);
if (b)
{
switch (b.value)
{
case '|' :
b.value = '/';
break;
case '/' :
b.value = '-';
break;
case '-' :
b.value = '\\';
break;
default :
b.value = '|';
}
}
}
setTimeout('buttonText("button1")', 150);
<input id="button1"...../>
OK, had a little fun here. See if there's anything you can use. =:o
