I's always those little things.

Thank you KevinADC, that did the trick.

Hello all, I am in the process of rewriting a script that was originally written in ksh, on a Solaris box, then forced to move to a Windows server I began writing it in PERL, due to network restrictions I have been able to move back to the original Unix server... The script itself connects to...

Thanks everyone for their help, I figured it out. The problem was that I was not passing the data into the function where the form was... If I place the <input....> line outside of the function then it works.

Sorry for the delay... I do (with this curent code) get an error on Mozilla which reads "document.getElementById("fcheck") has no properties" This Javascript is embeded in a PERL script The PERL works perfectly. Here is the code: (The HTML generated by it all follows) #!/usr/bin/perl -W use...

One problem with those it that it needs to be a hidden input. Not that it really matters anyway because I still get the same errors listed above.

Just FYI, Here is the my Javascript in its entirty <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function isform() { var shift = "$SHIFT"; var count = document.forms.length; alert("Count is at "+count); if ((count == 0) && (shift == "night")) { alert("PERL worked.")...

I have moved to the Javascript forum the thread is titles "Sending data to an existing form"

Thanks 13sio, Unfortunately neither of those worked. The JS debugger in Mozilla does not show any errors but IE complains with the following errors: When using this document.getElementById("fcheck").value="done"; IE gives this error: Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an...

No, fcheck is a hidden text variable

Thanks arn0ld, This is a sad example of the lack of in-depth knowledge I have with Javascript. I've been testing it in both Moz and IE but the debugger has stopped showing errors... I am currently using document.tasks.fcheck.value = "done";

Hello all, I am having a problem while attempting to send a hidden input field to an existing for elsewhere in my cgi script. The PERL part works fine, but when I put the following javascript line in, it breaks Where tasks is the name & id of the form. and fcheck is the name & id of the...

Sorry folks, It's now a javascript problem. The PERL part works perfectly, there is something wrong with the line: document.forms.tasks.fcheck.value = "done"; I have searched on it quite a bit and I have tried a few different versions of it but it still doesn't work so I guess I will have...

Ok I changed my code to: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function isform() { var shift = "$SHIFT"; var element = document.getElementById("tasks"); if ((element == null) && (shift == "night")) { document.forms.tasks.fcheck.value = "done"; }...

Whoops, the line if ((element == null) && ($SHIFT == "night")) { really is in both... Mike
