Simple JavaScript statement not working

[cmattoon]

I have a checkbox with an ID and NAME of "noexpire", and a Spry textbox with an ID and NAME of "expiration".

When the user checks the "noexpire" checkbox, I want the date "12/31/2099" to automatically populate the textbox.

 

I've tried several different arrangements of:

document.frmPass.expiration

document.getElementById('expiration')

document.getElementById("expiration")

 

as well as a few others, but for some reason, nothing appears to work. I'm not even getting a JavaScript error!

(I've also tried ".value" for both the checkbox and textbox..)

 

I tried an alert box, and the function is being accessed, but it won't do anything.

 

function doExpire(){
     document.getElementsByName("expiration").text=(document.getElementByName("noexpire").checked)?"12/31/2099":"";
}

 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

You need to set the value property, not text. The reason you're not getting a JS error is because you're creating a new property.

try this

 

document.getElementsByName("expiration").text.value=(document.getElementByName("noexpire").checked)?"12/31/2099":"";
