[URL=http://www.evernet.co.uk]Visit my site

@AdamGundryMay 18.2003 — Do you mean a HTML <button> element?

@bearauthorMay 18.2003 — This is what I was talking about. I can not get two lines on the button. Is it possible to do?

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

function goToURL() { window.location = "http://javascript.internet.com/new"; }

// End -->

</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<form>

<input type=button value="Bears Home Page" onClick="goToURL()">

</form>

</BODY></HTML>

I would have posted an image of the button, but for somr reason they have the img thing turned off..... So I posted the code

@AdamGundryMay 18.2003 — You can do this:

<button onClick="goToURL()">Line 1<br>Line 2</button>

@David_HarrisonMay 18.2003 — Why not do something like this:

<input type="button" value="Line 1nLine 2nLine3">

@AdamGundryMay 18.2003 — Uh...because it doesn't work. The <button> element is designed for buttons with graphics/HTML formatting, whereas <input> only allows a limited range of formatting.

@David_HarrisonMay 18.2003 — What do you mean it doesn't work, if you put that code on an HTML page it will make a button (that doesn't do anything) with 3 lines of text on it.

@brendandonhueMay 18.2003 — No it really doesn't work, it just says Line 1nLine 2nLine3

on the button. n does not create a new line on input type button.

@CharlesMay 18.2003 — [font=georgia]And bear's form will not do anything at all on one in ten browsers. But with a little adjustment all will be well...[/font]

[font=monospace]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<meta name="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript">

<title>A Bear of an Example</title>

<form action="http://javascript.internet.com/new">

<div>

<button type="submit">Bears<br>Home<br>Page</button>

</div>

</form>[/font]

@bearauthorMay 19.2003 — Hello Charles, you said the java script code I had would not work in one in ten browsers. Why?

I'm not questioning your statement my friend, you see I know nothing about java script and very little about HTML. (I got that script from a script website). But I'm trying to learn this stuff. It difficult at times being new to computers. But this cyber world and all its little mysteries just excites the proverbial brown stuff out of me.

Food and water will sustain the body, but knowledge is food for the soul..... the bear said that

PS: I tried your code, yours and the one Adam gave me both work. Thank you ?

@web-eagleMay 19.2003 — He’s probably referring to the current wisdom that says 10% of all browsers have javascript disabled for whatever reasons. Only pure HTML can hope to reach those poor lost souls.

@CharlesMay 19.2003 — [font=georgia]Some of those "poor lost souls" cannot use browsers with JavaScript because of disabilities. Some, like myself, are simply defending ourselves from having our windows resized.[/font]

@bearauthorMay 19.2003 — Charles, ya lost me my friend. Disabilities? Windows Resized? Please explain!


The Early Bird Gets The Worm. Heck, it did not do the worm any good getting up early. Besides, I'm not a Bird, I don't eat worms. Think I'll just stay in bed........
