Obtain Textbox Value w/out Form

[TheVisionThing]

I want to retrieve the value of the textbox 'TablePageSize' when I press the
'Go' button, like so:

Page Size <input name="TablePageSize" type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" />
&nbsp;<input name="Go" type="button" value="Go"
onclick="alert(document.TablePageSize.value);"/>

But for various reasons I don't have a form here. How do I refer to the
'TablePageSize' object to get its value.

Regards,
Wayne C.

Give it an id and use document.getElementById, or use
document.getElementsByName.

Better yet, put it in a form and set up a server side fallback.

Oh - and if you plan on serving your document as text/html, then you should
insert a space before "/>".
