Example 16.6:
Is it a Number?
Type a 3-digit number into the text box:
Now click on this button in the second form:
You'll see the text in the third form:
This is the script we used. In the HEAD...
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function Pass() {
var sCheck = document.fred.elements[0].value
nCheck = parseInt(sCheck, 10)
if (nCheck <=99 || nCheck == 0) {
alert("This is not a 3-digit number.")
}
else {
if (nCheck >= 100) {
if (nCheck >=201) {
alert("You entered a number that's too high. You must enter a number within the range of 100 to 200 inclusive.")
}
else {
document.joe.elements[0].value = nCheck
}
}
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
Then these forms:
<![CDATA[
<FORM NAME="fred">
<input type="text" size="3"><P>
</FORM>
<I>Now click on this button in the second form:</I>
<FORM>
<input type="button" value="Check the Text and Pass if Between 100 and 200" onclick="Pass()">
</FORM>
<I>You'll see the text in the third form:</I>
<FORM NAME="joe">
<input type="text" size="30"><P>
</FORM>
]]>
Also, at the bottom of the form we moved focus to the text box with this:
<![CDATA[
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
document.fred.elements[0].focus()
//-->
</SCRIPT>
]]>
