Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello every one, I’m very new at this jscript stuff so any help will be greatly appreciated!

I’m trying to write the text input from a text area to a new document. This is what I have so far:

<SCRIPT type=”text/javascript”>

function create()
{

dothis = new Date()

month = dothis.getMonth()

month = (month * 1) + 1

day = dothis.getDate()

year = dothis.getFullYear()

ow=window.open()

go=ow.document.write

b=” “+month+”/”+day+”/”+year+”<br>”

go(“<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Party On !</TITLE>”)
go(“</HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR=’#999999′ LINK=’#0000FF’ VLINK=’#0000cc’>”)
go(“<HR WIDTH=100%>”)
go(“<TR><TD WIDTH=550 BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>”)
go(b+document.form1.ta.value)
go(“</TD></TR></TABLE>
go(“</CENTER></BODY></HTML>”)

}

</SCRIPT>

<form name=”form1″ action=””>
<textarea name=”ta” cols=”60″ rows=”40″></textarea>
<input type=”Button” value=”update” onclick=”create()”>
</form>

Keep getting error “document.form1.ta” undefined.

????????????????????

@Paul_JrFeb 23.2004 — Hmmm... Try this
[size=1]
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
//&lt;![CDATA[
function create() {
var now = new Date();
var month = now.getMonth();
var month = (month * 1) + 1;
var day = now.getDate();
var year = now.getFullYear();
var date = " "+month+"/"+day+"/"+year+"&lt;br /&gt;";

var win = window.open();

win.document.write('&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"&gt; n');
win.document.write('&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"&gt;n');
win.document.write('&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;Example&lt;/title&gt;n');
win.document.write('&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=iso-8859-1" /&gt;nn');
win.document.write('&lt;/head&gt;n');
win.document.write('&lt;body style="background-color: #999;"&gt;nn');
win.document.write('&lt;hr /&gt;n');
win.document.write('&lt;div style="width: 550px; background-color: #FFF; padding: 10px;"&gt;'+date+document.forms[0]['myinput'].value+'&lt;/div&gt;nn');
win.document.write('&lt;/body&gt;n');
win.document.write('&lt;/html');
}
//]]&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
... ... ...
&lt;form action="#" onsubmit="return create();"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;textarea name="myinput" cols="95" rows="20"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;input type="submit" value="Update" /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
[/size]
Hehehe, I've never actually done this before, just seen it done, so lemme know if it works for you.
