Help Returning JS

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 20.2008

I haven’t messed with JavaScript in quite sometime and I need to make a very simple script and I am completely drawing a blank on how to do it. If anyone could just help me with this example I can take it from there. Thanks for any help you may provide

exalple:

[CODE]<form method=”POST”>

<input type=”text”size=”20″>

<input type=”submit” value=”Submit”>

</form>

<table border=”1″>

<td>
<font color=”*”>1</font> 2 3 4 5 <font color=”*”>6</font> 7 8 <font color=”*”>9</font> 10
</td>

</table>[/CODE]

Basically I am trying to have the table hidden until OnClick of the submit button. I aslo want all the * in the table to change to what ever is typed into the submit box. So for example if i entered “red” in the submit box numbers 1 and 6 would be red. Thanks again for your time and any help you can provide.

That would be an accurate statement, thanks for the help.

I had hoped to apply any help I got with this problem to other concepts other than just changing colors of a font. For example if the user input value "X" it will change the HTML of a hidden table inputing value "X", then display the table. Unfortunetly, although you 100% resolved what I had asked help with, it wouldn't allow me to apply the same method to say, a link with an * in the url (ex. /index.html">www.aol.com/*/index.html)

You have proven the concept of what I am trying to do is possible, I just can't seem to figure this out on my own. The link example I just gave is specifically what I am trying to do, the color problem was also an issue, so thanks for your help.

Success!
