Question

This is the content on my view page and i want to replace the value from “0” when the monthfunc() is called…the monthfunc() is given below the view content

<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="monthplus" id="monthplus" onClick="return monthfunc('monthplus');"  value=">>>>>>">
<input type="hidden" name="monthnum" id="monthnum" value="1">
<input type="text" name="monthname" id="monthname" value="0"  value="<? echo $month;?>" >
<input type="submit" name="monthminus" id="monthminus" onClick="return monthfunc('monthminus');" value="<<<<<<">
</td>
</tr>

My script is

function monthfunc(mnth)
{
 if(mnth == 'monthplus')
 {
  var yn = document.getElementById('monthnum').value;
  ynpo = parseInt(yn)+1;
  if(ynpo==13)
  {
   ynpo=1;
  }

 }

 else if(mnth == 'monthminus')
 {
  var yn = document.getElementById('monthnum').value;
  ynpo = parseInt(yn)-1;
  if(ynpo==0)
  {
   ynpo=12;
  }
 }
  if(ynpo ==1)
  {
    document.getElementById('monthname').value = 'january';
    document.getElementById('monthnum').value = ynpo;
    return true;
  }
  else if(ynpo ==2)
  {
    document.getElementById('monthname').value = 'february';
    document.getElementById('monthnum').value = ynpo;
    return true;
  }
  else if(ynpo ==3)
  {
    document.getElementById('monthname').value = 'March';
    document.getElementById('monthnum').value = ynpo;
    return true;
  }
  return false;

}

How can i replace The value with the value like january february etc..
Actually i can change the values but cannot retain the values…
i want to retain the values ,,,How to do that

Answer 1

For the monthname input you have two ‘values’. What happens when you remove the first one?

Also, you really need to improve the structure of your function. For example, using the following array would reduce your code significantly:

var month=new Array(12);
month[0]="January";
month[1]="February";
month[2]="March";
month[3]="April";
month[4]="May";
month[5]="June";
month[6]="July";
month[7]="August";
month[8]="September";
month[9]="October";
month[10]="November";
month[11]="December";
