VB script: newbee error: erorr with msgbox and forms
Hello everyone. I am a brand new, learner on VBscript, and I think I have an easy question. I need the following code to pop the first name, last name in the box below where the user will enter their information, but it does not pop up. I also want the telephone number seperated by ( ) around the area code, and a dash in between the number and exchange. Any help is greatly appreciated!
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="msgbox" METHOD="POST">
Your Name: <INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="name"><BR>
Your telephone: <INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="email"><BR>
<BR>
Your results:<BR>
<TEXTAREA NAME="comment" COLS="20" ROWS="5" WRAP="VIRTUAL"></TEXTAREA><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hello & welcome! :wave:
You're going about it completely wrong, I'm afraid.
You can not use <FORM ACTION="msgbox" METHOD="POST"> in the manor you want to. The Action attribute in the form tag will either send the info from the form to a database, email, or even an asp page - definitely not to a msgbox. What you need to look into is the Document.value and Document.Writln statements to obtain info and write the info to the page. So look into the Document object of VBScript.

Is this what you are trying to accomplish?
<html>
<body>
<form name="frmlogin">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
Telephone: <input type="text" name="telephone">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
retname = prompt("What is your name?", "");
retphone = prompt("What is your phone number?", "");
frmlogin.name.value = retname;
frmlogin.phone.value = retphone;
</script>
</body>
</html>

@Mssimofinance: Is this what you need
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>VBSCript Example</TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Sub Submit_OnClick
Dim TheForm
Set TheForm = Document.ValidForm
MsgBox("User Name = " & TheForm.uname.Value)
MsgBox("Telephone = = " & TheForm.utel.Value)
End Sub
-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="ValidForm">
Your Name: <INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="uname"><BR>
Your telephone: <INPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="utel"><BR>
<BR>
<INPUT NAME="Submit" TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
@Paul: I think the OP needs it in VBScript, not JS :wave:
