JavaScript text box question..

who cares? · **Posted:** Thu Sep 16, 2004 4:50 pm

ok, i've done 2 years of Turing so far, but now i started JavaScript at school...

the teacher made us write a program that tells time and refreshes every second....

anyways, can you please tell me of a way to display that "clock" (just text, nothing else) in a text box?

thanks a lot!

This is not a fourm for java scripted, this is a forum for the progaming langue java. java scripted != java.

I am moving this to html/webpage section.....

Create a textbox with HTML and gove it a unique ID. Then simply access that object and set its value property. Something like the following should work, though I haven't tested it.

code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function displayTest() {
document.getElementById("test-field").value = "Hello world!";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="displayTest();">
<form>
<input type="text" id="test-field"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
