If you have some text bopxes that you put info into and then press submit it resets the entire for. How would I prevent it from doing this?

Well, it doesn't do that for me. Maybe you could try posting your code so I could look at it?

here's an example:

<html>
<head>

<script language="javascript">

function Addup(){

a=addup.a.value;
b=addup.b.value;

Addup = window.open("","AddUp","height=300, width=400, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, status=yes");
Addup.document.writeln("<html><head><title>Add Up</title></head><body onload=\"create(this.form)\">");
Addup.document.writeln("<p align=\"center\"><font face=\"verdana\" size=\"4\"><b>Add Up</b></font></p>");

Addup.document.writeln((1*a)+(1*b))

Addup.document.writeln("<p align=\"center\"><font face=\"verdana\"><a href=\"javascript:window.close();\">Close</a></font></p></body></html>");}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<form name="addup">

<input type="text" name="a" size="20"> +

<input type="text" name="b" size="20"> = ???

<input type="submit" value="Add Up" onclick="Addup();">

</form>

</body></html>


You enter two values in the text boxes, press add-up and the values dis-appear.

On this line:

<input type="submit" value="Add Up" onclick="Addup();">

Change the type to button. That should fix it for you.

Sorry I was wrong before, if i change submit to button it does leave the values in, however when I enter new values and click again it doesn't work.

Seems like your error is in the same name for popup window and for the function that generates it.
change the popup window name to anything else and it should work for you.

ofcourse the type submit will be type button now
