refer to form.

in VBScript, how can i reference a form in the html page. What i am looking for is the equivalent to document.form.field1 in JavaScript.

Also, how do i detect the length of a field when the submit button is pressed, then display a message box depending on the length. thanks. I know how to do all of this in javascript, but i want to try it in vbscript.

The syntax is pretty much the same:

Code:

---

    document.frmMyForm.txtTextBox

---

If your using Interdev, you will have Intellisense that help.. Also, you don't really need the document object to access the form, just the name of the form like:

Code:

---

    frmMyForm.txtTextBox

---

For the length of the field:

Code:

---

<SCRIPT Language="VBScript">

Function frmMyForm_onsubmit
    If Len(frmMyForm.txtTextBox.Value) > 10 Then
        window.alert "Hey! That's too long!"
        frmMyForm_onsubmit = False
    End If

End Function

</SCRIPT>

Thanks a million dude. Slicker than a snot on a door knob.

In Javascript, We can use
Document.DirList.FileMenu.options[1].text="";
to modify the ListBox's field.


But how can I do that in VBScript ?
I try the same thing statement in VBScript but it said object '1' is needed.

Can any one help me ? Thank you!

Well... you should probably have started a new thread for it.. but....

Code:

---

Document.DirList.FileMenu.options(1).innertext=""
Document.DirList.FileMenu.options(1).value=""

---

(I'm assuming you've declared your form's name to be DirList and your SELECT's name to be FileMenu.. if not.. all bets are off..)
