Is there any way to use an onClick to change the value of a field depending upon which of two submit buttons is clicked, like this:

<input type="text" name="myField" value="red">

<input type="submit" value="Change it to Blue" onClick="??">

<input type="submit" value="Change it to Yellow" onClick="??">

Thanks,
Charles

I am sure you have your reasons for having 2 submit buttons in the form..:D

here is the solution anyways.

<input type="text" name="myField" value="red">
<input type="submit" value="Change it to Blue" onClick="this.form.myField.value=this.value">
<input type="submit" value="Change it to Yellow" onClick="this.form.myField.value=this.value">
