I have this piece of simple code.

<html>
<head>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function changeText()
    {
       var form = document.forms['detail'];
       form.desc.value="success";
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
  <form name="detail">
    <input type="text" name="desc" id="desc" >
    <input type="submit" value="changetext" onClick=changeText()>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

When i run this in Mozilla browser the value of the textbox named “desc” changes but disappears immediately…i.e it is not shown forever and becomes empty.

How can I fix it.

Regards,
Vijay

    Try using:

    <input type="submit" value="changetext" onClick="changeText(); return false;">

    It looks like your page is refreshing, and that is probably why your field text disappears. If your onClick listener returns false, it will prevent this default behaviour.
