Passing Object Properties

[KrazyKid]

Hello All,

I want to do something that I am sure is simple, I just can't fathom it at the moment..

Objective:
Pass the object value to a function along with the object property of formname.objectname to null out the text if the condition is met. eg: strObjName.value = ''; strObjName.focus();


Example usage below:


Calling Syntax:
checkTxtField(this.name, this.value);

function checkTxtField(strObjName,strToCheck)
{
if (strToCheck == "some text")
{
alert(strObjName + ': ' + strToCheck)

}
}

Thanks to all that respond!

Try changing your function to this:
function checkTxtField(strObjName,strToCheck)
{
if (strToCheck == "test")
{
alert(strObjName.name + ': ' + strToCheck)

}
}

Actually I think this would be better:
function checkTxtField(fldobj)
{
if (fldobj.value == "test")
{
alert(fldobj.name + ': ' + fldobj.value)

}
}

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="myfld" VALUE="test" onChange="checkTxtField(this)">

checkTxtField(this, 'default text in box');

function checkTxtField(strObjName, strToCheck)
{
if (strObjName.value == strToCheck)
{
strObjName.value = '';
strObjName.focus();

}
}
