Button question and embed question

[codeone]

This is a two part question...

first:
is there a way to apply an if statement to a button, like you can with a checkbox....

ex:
if(document.alpha.beta.checked)

but I want to do this with a button...

second:
is it possible to load and play a sound file without first embeding the sound in the doc?

thanks

code one,

Not sure about the sound file... But the button won't have a 'checked' property, I wouldn't have thought.

What property would you want to check?

i know it wouldnt have the checked property but I was addressing that as an example, I would like to check for the onclick....

is that possible?

codeone,

to check for a click you simply assign a function to the button's onclick handler

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function checkForClick() {
alert(&quot;i've been clicked&quot;
}
</script>

<input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;checkForClick();&quot; value=&quot;click me&quot;/>

Or if you want to test to see if it has an onclick event assigned to it, you could use:

alert(document.getElementById('buttonID').getAttribute('onclick'));

I figured it out and I used:

if(document.form.bttnName.click)

that worked exactly like I wanted...

thanks for your reply
