Submit button display text on click

[David Richards]

I don't need a submit button to submit anything. I just want to display text
when the button is clicked. How do I do that?

 

[Steve Easton]

Display it in what?
A div or layer, text in a cell, a javscript alert box?

This will get you a javascript alert box.

In the head section:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showit(){
alert("I did this");
}
</script>

In the body of the page:

<input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showit();">

Note: the above requires the user to click an OK button to close the alert box.

sure, it's not a problem.
you just need an image to serve as the "button" you can get an easy one by
doing: insert/ interactive button.
then you can use the layers and behaviors feature to trigger a "click" event
to show a hidden "layer".
it works OK and it's pretty easy.

This is for a class assignment. I can't use javascript because the instructor
is afraid it won't work on every browser. I disagree but that is his
requirement.

I have a selection box with a submit button. I just want to display the
correct answer as text next to the button in the selection box.

I'm not sure if this is too much JavaScript but you could add "onclick" to
the button to create an alert window.

Ok.
If you want to click a button and have something happen, you "Must" use onClick()
to make something happen even if it is as simple as swapping the CSS class for
the container containing the text to change it from hidden to visible.


Unfortunately, even a simple onClick is javascript.
