Programming query

[EmmaGale]

I would be grateful for some help with a programming query.

Here is a link to the page: http://www.s114085044.websitehome.co...82&RIDUnit=171

To give a full picture: http://www.s114085044.websitehome.co...ster/logon.asp is the main logon page. Manager is the logon and password and 382 is a real department.

In the section that says Severity, Likelihood and risk Score. What I would like is the previous risk score to appear in the previous risk score box. I cant work out how this can be achieved. I have created an additional input box and field called midscore in the database which i thought might be an area to hold an interim value but I cant really get my head on the right track.

It might be becuase its a hot day - but Im really struggling with and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Assuming I'm reading this correctly, put this in your dothemath() function immediately before you do the calculation:

document.managerDetail.previousriskscore.value = document.managerDetail.answer.value

Now this won't show up anywhere on the screen because your form field previousriskscore is hidden. But...if you want it to, it's not all that hard. Just do this:

   <td align="left">
            <input name="previousriskscore" type="hidden" id="previousriskscore" value="0">
            <span class="pagetext" id="prscore">0</span>
</td>

And then, in that same function:

var answer = document.managerDetail.answer.value;
document.getElementById("prscore").innerHTML = answer;

That should get you where you want to go.

Hi thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately that doesnt seem to work. If i put the line of code in the doMath function before the calculation, i loose the calculation and the score doesnt show up.

I have also tried to add the lines of code to produce the ouput to screen but these are now showing up.

I apolgoise I am also a little unsure of what do do with the final piece of code. which function shoul this be added to?

Im not very good at javascript unfortunately :(

Thank you anyway for your help so far and would be really grateful if you could explain it a little more.

with kind regards
