Article ID: Q151347
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.0a, 1.1
SUMMARY
The "More Information" section of this article includes the steps you need to follow to use JavaScript with FrontPage Editor.
Note that FrontPage 98 and 97 include a tool specifically designed for inserting Internet scripting languages in FrontPage pages.
NOTE: You must use a Java-enabled Web browser to view a page that includes JavaScript.
MORE INFORMATION
Java-enabled pages have fast become a method of making Web pages interactive. Because JavaScript relies on the browser to perform interactive functions, it is more reliable than CGI or PERL which are platform dependent.
Use the following steps to create a page that contains a form with a three- button text box:
1. In FrontPage Editor, create a new page in an existing Web.
2. On the Insert menu, click Bot, select the HTML Markup WebBot, and click
OK.
3. In the WebBot HTML Markup dialog box, type the following:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="LiveScript">
<!-- This comment hides the script from old browsers
function ShowText(form, strText)
{
form.display.value = strText;
}
-->
</SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="display" VALUE=""><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="One" ONCLICK="ShowText(this.form, 'One')">
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Two" ONCLICK="ShowText(this.form, 'Two')">
<INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="Clear">
</FORM>
4. Click OK to exit the WebBot HTML Markup dialog box.
NOTE: You must place the form in the WebBot HTML Markup dialog box because the buttons have extended functionality.
5. Save the page to the Web and view it with a Java-enabled Web browser.
