How about: document.manage_edit_form["data:text"] -----------Original Message------------ From: "Peter Be" <peter@grenna.net> To: <zope@zope.org> Subject: [Zope] JavaScript help! Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 17:18:24 +0100 charset="iso-8859-1" Maybe not a Zope specific question but the problem arises only with Zope DTML. The documentEdit.dtml page in OFS has this little HTML: <TEXTAREA NAME="data:text" WRAP="Off" COLS="50" ROWS="20"></TEXTAREA> And what I want to do is trigger a JavaScript that replaces specific characters in the textarea box to others. I.e. Replace swedish รถ with HTML: ö The problem is the name of the textarea box! It is called "name:text" If I replace the name of the textarea box to say "data", then my JavaScript works fine. I have tried to "eval" the box, but to no effect. Any ideas??
