hi, i want to capture the current contents of a text field in turn, i want to add an emoticon adder, where as u click on an emoticon which inserts the code into the text field as i have it now, when you click to insert emoticon code, it replaces what ever has been typed in the field.... i need it to just add to it so currentvalue+emoticoncode that type.... roamhosting.net

Assuming that the form name is "theForm" and the field name is "theField" you would simply do the following: document.theForm.theField.value += 'emoticoncode' The += means that the element before will equal itself plus whatever comes next. Son instead of a = a + b, you can use a += b Michael J

another problem tho with these popups.. say i have a page, with a load of content... scroll bar etc... well when you click to launch a popup, you are placed back at the top of the page, kind of like an anchor.... roamhosting.net
