Darkmatter5 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 This code won't produce an alert box as it's designed to do. Any ideas why? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> //var xmlHttp //var i=0; function showTable(table,str) { alert ("table = " +table " and str = " +str); } </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET"> Enter something in the box: <BR> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P> <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="showTable('clients',this.form)"> </FORM> </body> </html> Shouldn't it produce an alert box saying, "table = clients and str = 'what you type in'"?

rhodesa Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 you are missing a + after table: alert ("table = " +table + " and str = " +str); also, if you want the value of the text box, your button code should be: <INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="showTable('clients',this.form.inputbox.value)"> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106355-problem-with-alert-box-and-form-code-help/#findComment-545154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
