Re: Javascript newbie problem -- WEB400

Here is a much cut down code sample

This particular example I have taken from a history site that I am developing. but the same code will be used for all applications. If you left click on one of the links in bold blue, the number of the link will be displayed in the input field. The operator can then click on ENTER to send the number to the AS/400 and the application will automatically navigate to the relevant record in my neural database. The HTML and Javascript below the INPUT field are generated on the fly by my system. There are no stored URL's, HTML or Javascript in the system. I intend to enhance it so that clicking on the link will not only put the number in AFIELD but also submit the ENTER button.

This sample works, but I have had to change the name of the field AFIELD.007-016 in the sample to AFIELD to make it work. Regrettably the name AFIELD.007-016 is generated and I cannot change it until I get round to doing my own CGI programming.

Any ideas? Is there another way not using Javascript that might work?

All help gratefully received
