I'm building a web page that has a form. The values of the Form Fields are populated by some ASP statements on page load.
I have an onclick event that grabs the values out of this form and populates another form with the same values.
When the javascript event handler runs, I get the following error:
Code:
document.myform1.num1 is not an object
This struck me as strange, so I investigated, and noticed that my Script Editor doesn't pick up my form objects as objects either. I figured out that the reason this is happening is because I define the value of the field with
ASP as follows:
Code:
<input type="text" name="num1" value="<%=oRS("Source")%>">
If I take out the ASP <%..%> the Script Editor WILL recognize num1 as a Form Object, but with the ASP it DOES NOT!
Has anyone encountered this sort of problem before? How can I get around it?
Thanks

It's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the whole script but I suspect that it might be a scope problem.
Where on the page have you got the Javascript?
This works OK (for me anyway)
I don't know what it looks like in Interdev because I wrote it using notepad!
Code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!--

<script language='Javascript'>
function doIt(){
document.myform2.num2.value=document.myform1.num1.value;
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
dim conn
dim rst
dim strSQL
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM table2;"
Conn.Open("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=C:\lenin.mdb")
Set rst = Conn.Execute(strSQL)
rst.movefirst
%>
<form name=myform1>
<input type="text" name="num1" value="<%=rst("List2")%>">
<input type=button onClick="doIt()">
</form>
<form name=myform2>
<input type="text" name="num2">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
(OK, so I confess based it on a script from yesterday!)

thanks for the response mark.
i finally figured it out.... it was sorta a scope issue..
i noticed i was trying to nest forms... which is not a good idea!!
