Reference field in mult-record form

Rose

I want to use the javascript dom to reference the field of a record in a
multi-record html form when that field has been changed. How do I reference
the field? I have a JavaScript function coded as:

var zownerID = document.updOwners.ownerID.value
var zownerName = document.updOwners.ownerName.value
document.updOwners.mysql_update.value = zownerID
document.updOwners.newName.value = zownerName

I have tried calling it from onclick for the submit button and onsubmit for
the form with no success. Very new to javascript and would appreciate any
help. Thanks

Hi Rose.

'javascript dom' is a misnomer: the former is a scripting language, the
latter a language-independent object model.

Not entirely clear what you're trying to do. Post your HTML along with
a description of what you need to happen.

Don't use the onclick of the submit button. Some browsers don't
support such a thing, and there are often other ways to submit a
form than clicking the button.

<form ... onsubmit="doStuff(this)">

function doStuff(formRef) {
formRef.mysql_update.value = formRef.ownerID.value;
formRef.newName.value = formRef.ownerName.value;
}

Believe it or not, I actually got it to work. I hate being so new to a
programming language that I don't even know how to properly refer to it.
Thanks for your response.
