Super-Easy JS question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 08.2007

Argh, it’s crazy how hard it is to find an answer to this. I have this code:

onclick=”autocopy(this.form,’source’,’target’);”

Which I want to refer to another form, not the form it’s in. I have no idea how to change “this” to “that”.

That’s all. ? And on a related note, I am assuming it’s not a problem for the onclick to occur in a form after the form it refers to?

Thank you….

One further question, is it possible to refer one argument to one form and one argument to another form? The source being in one form and the target being in another. The javascript it is referring to is this:

<script type="text/javascript">

function autocopy(f) {

for (var i = 1; i<arguments.length; i+=2)

f.elements[arguments[i+1]].value = f.elements[arguments[i]].value;

}

</script>

Success!
