adding to form

[slimjim]

How can i Do this :
Lets say I have 20 images on the same page as a form.
Now I want to just click on one of the images and then have that image name ( image.gif ) added to one of the form fields automatically by just clicking on it.

#1. make sure you name your form, i.e. <form name="someform"...>
#2. in the img src tag, put <img src="blah.jpg" onclick="document.forms.someform.FIELDNAME.value='someval'; return true">

that should do it. its purely javascript, no php involved.

You mention this :
#1. make sure you name your form, i.e. <form name="someform"...>
#2. in the img src tag, put <img src="blah.jpg" onclick="document.forms.someform.FIELDNAME.value='someval'; return true">

Not sure how the form field gets the image name, by doing onclick, you have the onclick value as someval...

Can you give me a better example as it would look like in a form so that I can test this to learn from it, before I use it.

Please... 🙂

<img src="new-logo.gif" onclick="document.forms.form1.field.value='new-logo.gif'; return true">
<br />
<img src="otherimage.gif" onclick="document.forms.form1.field.value='otherimage.gif'; return true">
<br />

<br /><br /><br />

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="/file.php">

<input type="text" name="field">

</form>

in the .value thing, i put someval, but you actually have to put whatever value you want in there. play around with that and see if you can get it working with your form.

ahh ok now I get it, i guess that someval got me confused....

Thank You Very Much...
