newby. Why this not working please?

[flabbyrabbit]

So you want to show an alert that says "You Pledged=" then the value that they submitted from the form?

well really don't need the alert box.
<select name="Bricks_Pledged" size="1">
<option value="1" selected>1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>

Then I want to show on the print what they selected please.

You selected 'n' of bricks

[flabbyrabbit]

Are you showing "You selected 'n' of bricks" on the same page and it changes when they change their selection from the drop down box?

Flabby Rabbit

[peterfc2]

yes.as soon as it changed from the selected [1]. otherwise it does not need to be displayed

[flabbyrabbit]

This is the way I would do it:

Code: Select all

<form name="pledge">
<select onChange="javascript:change_pledge();" name="Bricks_Pledged" size="1">
<option value="1" selected>1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="7">7</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
<option value="10">10</option>
</select>
</form>

<p id="pledge_text"></p>

<script type="text/javascript">
function change_pledge(){
num = document.pledge.Bricks_Pledged.value;
text = "You selected " + num + " bricks"
document.getElementById('pledge_text').innerHTML=text;
}
</script>


I'm sure some one will think of a better way of doing it, but that works.
