  • 0

Upon the click of a button I need to display the appropriate variable to a specific text-box. I’ve set the variables up in an array so when the user clicks the “Input” button a prompt will appear and ask four questions (1 per each column).

I’ve attempted to display each prompt with a text box. That’s where my problem occurs. Thanks!

function buttonMsg() {

    varData[0] = prompt("Please enter first name.","")

    varData[2] = prompt("Please enter phone number.","")
    varData[3] = prompt("Please enter address.","")
}

    try this:

    function buttonMsg(){
   varData = new Array()

   varData[0] = prompt("Please enter first name.","")
   varData[1] = prompt("Please enter last name.","")
   varData[2] = prompt("Please enter phone number.","")
   varData[3] = prompt("Please enter address.","")

   document.getElementsByName('inputbox')[0].value = varData[0];
   document.getElementsByName('inputbox')[1].value = varData[1];
   document.getElementsByName('inputbox')[2].value = varData[2];
   document.getElementsByName('inputbox')[3].value = varData[3];
}
