Try: <input type="text" name="q" id="q"></input> <input type="button" onclick="drawImg('A',document.getElementById('q').value);" value="Search"></input> I didn't test this, but I think it'll work... -----Original Message----- From: jonathan [mailto:news_php@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2005 1:45 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: php / JS / DOM question I know that this is more of a Javascript / DOM question but I cannot for the life of me figure this out: I have this form: <form name="query_form"> <input type="text" name="q"></input> <input type="button" onclick="drawImg('A',document.forms ['query_form'].elements['q']);" value="Search"></input> </form> When the user clicks on the button, I want the text that is in input elment 'q' to be sent to the Javascript function drawImg but when I debug it via alerts, it appears to be NULL. Looking at the examples online, I feel like this should work. Does anybody know why this might not be working correctly? -jonathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
