real time form update

_NQ_KING

Hello, this is my first time here so i hope that there are no specific guidelines that i was supposed to follow in asking for help, if there are, i apologize in advance for not following them.

Well i have a script that i wrote for my clan/guild/linkshell in this online game i play that keeps track of members, the points they receive from events, items etc. in the admin panel of the script where you can update peoples points i want to know if i can add a button or something similar that if you push it updates the points which is currently in another text box in the same form in real time. I'm sorry if i'm not being clear, what i'm trying to do it make it quicker to update a members points because usually after each event they receive either 10 or 20 so i want to add a button where if you push it then it will put 10 or 20 in the 'add' box in real time. right now when you edit a member it shows their current points in a text box and under that two text boxes, one if you want to add points and another if you want to subtract points. if this isnt possible then i assume that i'd have to make it update the points in the box and keep all the values from before and just reload the page with the new value inside the box. wow, i'm sorry if i'm not very clear, please ask questions if you dont understand what i'm trying to say.

Yeah, you need a JavaScript function that will add x to y in a field. x being 10 or 20 and y being the fields value.

<html>
  <head>
    <script type="text/JavaScript">
      <!--
        function addSome(field, num){
          val = field.value;
          field.value = "";
          x = parseInt(val);
          x += num;

      field.value = x;
      return true;
    }
  //-->
</script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form name="myform">
      <input type="text" value="10" name="textbox"><br><br>
      <input type="button" value="Add 10" onclick="javascript:addSome(document.myform.textbox, 10)">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
