Hi,

I've got two questions:

1) I'm trying to make an alert with the contents of whatever's in the text box named alert appear when you click a button. Could someone tell me what's wrong with the button below?

<input type="button" value="Preview" name="Preview" onclick="alert(\"" + form.alert.value + "\");>

2) Is it possible to make a popup window without the titlebar without making it full screen?

Thanks,

Neil

change this part of the code
+ form.alert.value +
to this

+ this.form.alertField.value

and make sure your html elements do not have names matching javascript or html keywords that can cause un expected results.

Second part of your question...full screen mode without title bar only works in IE....in NS base browsers you will never be ale to get rid of titlebar..(as of today :D )

Sorry, still doesn't work. This is the code for the whole webpage:

__________________________________________________

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function jumpBox(list) {
location.href = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value
}

//created by Neil

function compute(form) {

form.html.value = "<body onunload='alert(\""+form.alert.value+"\");'>";

}

{
}

{

}

<!-- done hiding from old browsers -->
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#C0C0C0">
<p align="center">Alert which appears when you close the page.</p>
<form>
<p align="left">Enter text to be displayed on the alert:&nbsp;</p>
<p align="left"> <input type="text" name="alert" size="55" value="Thanks for visiting this page. Please come again soon!"></p>
<p align="left"><input TYPE="button" VALUE="Generate"
ONCLICK="compute(this.form)"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="Erase"><button onclick="alert(this.form.alert.value)">Alert</button>
</p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;
</p>
<p align="left">Paste this event handler into your &lt;body&gt; tag:
</p>
<p align="left"><textarea rows="4" name="html" cols="60"></textarea>
</p>
</form>

<p><input type="button" value="Close" name="B3" onClick="javascript:window.close();"><input type="button" value="< Back" name="B4" onclick='window.location="javascriptgenerator3alert.htm";'><input type="button" value="Next >" name="B5" onclick='window.location="javascriptgenerator2.htm";'><input type="button" value="Finish" name="B6" onclick="alert('Complete the wizard before clicking Finish')"></p>

When you give a form element the name "alert" it overwrites the method with the same name.

I changed the text box's name to 'text' and it works perfectly now.

Thanks,
