dynamically changing two text fields dependent on each other

[toodi4]

Something tells me this is a simple problem, but I seem to be stuck.

I am working on a form in which there are two text fields which can
contain numerical values. But only one of them can have a value other
than zero. So if the first one has a value, the second one becomes
zero, and if you then enter a value in the second one, the first one
reverts to 0.

I didn't create this form originally and so I am working within some
constraints. I won't bore you with the details as to why, but this
can't be a form verification thing where you get a warning when both
fields have a non-zero value. It has to be where if you enter a value
in one, the other becomes 0 and vice versa.

Any suggestions?

onkeyup="if(this.value!=0 && this.value!='') two.value=0;">
<input name=two
onkeyup="if(this.value!=0 && this.value!='') one.value=0;">
</form>

Thanks. I knew it was something simple.

You shouldn't assume that the unqualified identifier "two" will be
resolved as a control within the form. The above (and the following
script snippet) would be safer as:

onkeyup="if(this.value!=0 && this.value!='')
this.form.two.value=0;">

that was working with my NC4 in the last century
so ..
it yet has to work everywhere !
if not : bad browser, to change browser !

onkeyup="if(this.value!=0 && this.value!='')
this.form.two.value=0;">

Yes, but so much longer (taller, bigger, larger, ...)

Cordially
