affecting value of one form element with the other

[webslinga]

Hi all,
I have two buttons. One is called 'Staff' and the other 'Non-Staff'. I would like to make a text field value disappear when I click on the button labeled non-staff AND re-appear when button labeled staff is clicked.

I have no idea how to get this functionality working. If someone would be so kind to show me the way. Any feedback is appreciated.

basic functionality to do what you want:

document.forms['FormName'].elements['FieldName'].value = 'whatever value you want;';

so, here's one way:

<input type="button" value="Staff" onclick="this.form.elements['TheFieldToChange'].value = '';" />
<input type="button" value="Non-Staff" onclick="this.form.elements['TheFieldToChange'].value = 'something';" />
