Hi, instead of showing a alert/messageBox how do I just change the text in an empty label or textbox? after the user clicks sumbit?

<script language="Javascript">
function validate(form)
{
    if (form.code.value=="")
    {
        alert("You must enter a code for the book.");
        form.code.focus();
    }
    else if (form.description.value=="")
    {
        alert("You must enter a description for the book.");
        form.description.focus();
    }
    else if (form.quantity.value=="")
    {
        alert("You must enter a positive number for the quantity.")
        form.quantity.focus();
    }
    else
    {
        form.submit();
    }
}
</script>

I want something like this
if (form.code.value=="")
{
form.code.value=="Enter Code";
form.code.focus();

Moved to Javascript. Javascript is not Java

[BetaWar]

form.code.value=="Enter Code";

The problem here is that you are using the equality operator instead of the equals operator (double = instead of a single =), so if you do this:

form.code.value = "Enter Code";

it should work.

Hope that helps.

Please put all your code inside [ code ] tags [ / code ] it just makes it easier to read and better for future reference.

Thanks
