[SOLVED] Update a text field

[papaface]

Hello,

Could someone tell me how I would go about doing the following:

I would like to be able to click on an image, and have its id inserted into a text field.

Like this:

<img src="smile.gif" id="" />

insert the id into:

<input name="text" type="text" size="20"/>

 

Any help would be appreciated. I really need this

Post  your solution though. Because two years from now some poor sap is going to have the same problem and when he finds your post, it wont do him any good.

Hi,

This is the solution:

onclick="document.shoutbox.submit_shout.value=document.shoutbox.submit_shout.value+this.id;"

it translates to:

onclick="document.FORM.TEXBOX.value=document.FORM.TEXTBOX.value+this.id;"

 

I have a problem though on my page can anyone help?

I have this code:

<input name="submit_shout" type="text" class="textboxes"  onClick="MM_setTextOfTextfield('submit_shout','','')" value="Message" size="20"/>

And it is conflicting with this code.

<img src="images/smileys/bad.gif" width="18" height="18" id=":bad:" onclick="document.shoutbox.submit_shout.value=document.shoutbox.submit_shout.value+this.id;" />

When i click on the image it is supposed to add the image ID to the text field.

It does that, however when i click in the text field it clears it.

I still want to have the ability to clear the text field but ONLY if they text fields value is "Message".

How can this be achieved?

 

Thanks

Wrap it in an "if( document.shoutbox.submit_shout.value == 'Message') "
