in reply to Assigning a value from JavaScript onSubmit in CGI

Difficult, to my understanding, onsubmit is only valid in the 'form' tag, in fact the button press will not trigger a submit method at all. What is the actual flow you are looking for here?

    Well, I put a Perl function call in the -onsubmit of this button and it got called.

    I have an array reference. When my page gets created the CGI loops through the array and puts the values into Text boxes so they can be changed.

    I have a JavaScript to dynamically add rows to this table.

    When the form is submitted, I need to gather the current values and put them back in my array ref. Here's the code:

    sub generateFlgNotes { my $cgi = shift; my $readonly = shift; my $attr = shift; my $attrHash = shift; my $value = $attrHash->{VALUE}; my $result; $result .= $cgi->start_table({-id=>'FlagNotesTable'}); foreach my $note (@$value) { $result .= $cgi->Tr({}, $cgi->td("<TextArea>$note</TextArea>")); } $result .= $cgi->end_table({}); my $addbutton = button(-name=>'AddFlagNote', -value=>'Add Flag Note', -onclick=>"return addNote('FlagNotesTable', '')", -onsubmit=>?????); $result .= $addbutton; return $result; }
