<input type="hidden" value="0" name="CmdAction">

<%Response.Write "<input type=""image"" onClick=""document.getElementById('CmdAction').value = 'Change Password';"" id=""CmdAct"" name=""CmdAct"" src=""images/save.gif"" >" %>




Is it actually finding the 'CmdAction' element?

In the code above you've assigned a name of 'CmdAction' but not an id.

Either add an id attribute to your hidden field, or use

document.getElementsByName('CmdAction')[0].value

Either add an id attribute to your hidden field, or use

document.getElementsByName('CmdAction')[0].value

Yea, what he said. getElementById looks for the id attribute, not the name attribute. Took me a little bit to see it so I can understand the over site.

hi..

sorry for disturb u again....

i have one input tag , value took from the popup window there by clicking on the text...

<input size=41 type=text class=""text"" readonly name=" & TbFieldName & " value="""& estlocname &"""><input type=hidden id=" & TbFieldName1 & " name=" & TbFieldName1 &" value="""& estlocid &"""><A HREF='javascript:PopWin(""" & TbFieldName & """,""" & TbFieldName1 & """,""Est"")'></a>

by the above code, javascript func for opening one popup..

---------------------
function PopWin(vField, vFieldId, vParam )
{

var nW = window.open("", "popup", "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,top=100,left=100,width=650,height=420");
nW.location.href = "popEst.asp?rqFieldName=" + vField + "&rqFieldID=" + vFieldId + "&Param=" + vParam ;
nW = null;

}
-----------------------------

in the popEst.asp page,

im populating all the values from table, if i m click one value from the popup window value should appear in the input tag...

response.write "<td><left><a href=""javascript:sendback('" & replace(EstName,"'","\'") & "', " & EstID & ")"">" & EstName & "</a></left></td>"

function sendback(sWo,sWl,sW2,sW3,sW4)
{

window.opener.document.all.<%=MainFormFldName%>.value = sWo;
window.opener.document.all.<%=MainFormFldID%>.value = sWl;
}

all the code working fine in PC, but not in Mac.. i found that in javascript, ASP variable is not recognize in Mac..

window.opener.document.all.<%=MainFormFldName%>.value = sWo;

in the above line MainFormFldName is showing "varaible undefined" error i m getting when i try to alert the <%=MainFormFldName%> like
alert (<%=MainFormFldName%>);

i dnk i wrote lot, but i want to clearly u my problem...

expecting ur solution......

Yeah don't use document.all because if I remember correctly this is only recognised by IE. Use document.getElementById(id) instead to grab your elements.
