Using Javascript, I am trying to change the text displayed on buttons
generated by AS/400 WSG, from F1, F2, etc. to my own labels.
The buttons include the session name as part of their own name, followed
by "/BUTTON.999.999="?", so I have to retrieve this.
The question mark represents a unique character such as "E" or "U" or
"V" or "1", etc.
To retrieve the session name, my code is
var session=(document.getElementById('SESSION').value);
I use
var buttonname = session + "/BUTTON.999-999=*E"; (for the Enter button)
to identify the the button I require, using "E" or "U" or "V" instead of
the questions mark.
The code that actually changes the button text is
document.getElementById(buttonname).value= "Enter/OK";
This works fine and I can change the first three buttons at the top of
the screen , but my code only changes the top instances of those
buttons, not the repeats with the same name at the bottom of the screen.
However, these are not the buttons I wish to change. If I attempt
change any of the F1 - F24 buttons by using the same code but by
changing the
code
var buttonname = session + "/BUTTON.999-999=*E"; (for the Enter button)
to (say)
var buttonname = session + "/BUTTON.999-999=*1"; (for the F1 button)
I get the message 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object.
It may be a coincidence that the only buttons that I can change are the
duplicates at the top of the screen
Has anyone got any bright ideas please? I have only doing Javascript
for 5 days and I cannot find the answer in any of the books that I
purchased.
the total code (which could be neater but I want to get it to work
first!) is
