Hey, really simple question:

for the below code:

function sendText1(text)
{
e = document.form1.one
e.value = text

}

How can i make it so it adds the "text" variable to the textbox, and doesn't replace whats already in the text box.

Thanks alot

e.value = e.value + text

Thanks alot, i told u it was simple!

Now i have another lil problem.

How would i make it soin the code below it assigns e.value to a string then replaces all "IIIII" in that string with "V" then puts the string back into e.value

e = document.form1.one

if (text != ""){
e.value = e.value + text;

I tried
String I = e.value;
String I = findReplace(I, "IIIII", "V");
e.value = String I;

but it doesn't work

Thanks alot.

I think it should be:

e.value = e.value.replace("IIIII", "V");

Here's a working example:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function sendText(text) {
	e = document.form1.one
	
	if (text != ""){
		e.value = e.value.replace("IIIII", "V");
	}
}
//-->
</script>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
		<form id="form1" method="get" name="form1" onsubmit="sendText('test');return false;">
			<input type="text" name="one" value="IIIII" size="24"><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName">
		</form>
	</body>

</html>

oops! it certainly should be e.value.replace
