Hi all
I've put together a little function to take user input from a text
field and append it to the end of a paragraph. What I'm stuck on is
how to also remove said text. This is what I've got:
function updatename(action)
{
var quotefor = document.getElementById('quotefor'); // text entry
form field
var quoteename = document.getElementById('quoteename'); // the
targat <p> tag
var quote = document.createTextNode(quotefor.value);
if (action == 'update)
{
quotename.appendChild(quote);
return false; // cancels some things further down the page
}
if (action == 'remove')
{
// can't get anything to work here!
}
}
Any pointers would be gratefully accepted.
Regards
F
