Test user entry and update accordingly

[SkiCheif]

I need to test a users entry and then update the textbox they were in based on an extra input from them.

I think the easiest way for me to describe it is to write psuedo vba code (which i'm more comfortable with)

Background:
User is entering in results from a wrestling match. If the value is numeric, then the match was decided on points. However, if there the wrestler was pinned or won by a technical fall then I want to ask them for the time of the match and add that to the combo box selection they made.

Form Control Name: cboHomeMatchScore

(also, I am use to 'lost focus' instead of 'blur'
----------------------------------------------------
Dim strUserEntry as String
Dim strCurrent as String

strCurrent = cboHomeMatchScore

[cboHomeMatchScore.LostFocus Event]

If Not IsNumeric(cboHomeMatchScore) then

strUserEntry = InputBox("Please Enter the time in this format '00:00'")

cboHomeMatchScore = strCurrent & " " & strUserEntry

Else

'do nothing here

End If

------------------------------------------------------

Goal:
To test the users input to see if there are points scored or the event ended in a 'timed manner'

Concantenate the result if not numeric with the user entered time

FOR EXAMPLE

Win By Fall 01:30


I have been playing with this for about two weeks trying to figure it out on my own. I also had another problem that with the help of Tarwin I was able to overcome. Thanks For Your Help

you are mixing javascript events with ASP vbScript. You can't. ASP is executed server-side, before the page is sent to the client and javascript is executed client-side and as such has no effect on the server code.

what you need to do is set the fields using client-side code then submit. Check forum216 (javascript) FAQs
