obsidian Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 <input type='submit' name='submitbuttonname' onSubmit='yourtextboxname.value=submitbuttonname.value' /> If I'm not mistaken, onsubmit is only a valid event for the form tag itself, not for individual input fields. If you want to capture it on submit, you can take this onsubmit attribute and put it as part of your form tag proper; however, you'll want to change "yourtextboxname.value" to "this.yourtextboxname.value" so the form can locate the field (same with submitbuttonname). Another option would be to handle it in an onclick handler for the submit button instead of the onsubmit. I would do it slightly different than recommended above, but it may just be a preference thing: <input type="submit" name="submitbuttonname" onclick="this.form.textareaname.value = this.value;" value="My Submit" /> Good luck!
