I'm trying to write a simple JavaScript function which will use a
button to copy table cell data into a form input text box as the
"value" attribute.
The following is intended to test the function, but doesn't work. I'm
new to this - previous JavaScript experience mostly copy & paste -
could somebody please point to where I'm going wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<head>
<title>Testing JavaScript</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function copytext(source_id, dest_id)
{
var s = getElementById(source_id);
var d = getElementById(dest_id);
var text = s.innerText;
d.setAttribute("value", text);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Testing JavaScript</h1>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td id="cell1">
<b>a string of text</b>
</td>
<td>
<button onclick="copytext('cell1', 'input1')">>></button>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" id="input1" width="20">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many thanks for any helpful suggestions
