How to define Input Type=text field for Mozilla browser

[Vanitha]

Hi All,

The following syntax is not working on Mozilla browser, however this
works on IE.

<input id="freq" size="20" name="freq" type="text">

When i refer this freq from a javascript functio like freq.value, its
giving the erro freq not defined in the Javascript console of Mozilla
browser

Thanks

document.yourFormName.freq.value

or

document.forms[0].freq.value (if the form which cointains that field is the
first)

or

document.getElementsByName("freq")[0].value

or

document.getElementById("freq").value

and so on

That is HTML and not JavaScript so it is off topic here but I am sure
Mozilla can render a HTML document containing that markup for an input
type="text" control.

Learn about the W3C DOM then on how to access elements by their id in
modern browsers:
var input;
if (document.getElementById) {
input = document.getElementById('freq');
}
else if (document.all) {
input = document.all['freq'];
}
// now use the input element object e.g.
if (input) {
input.value = 'Kibology';
}

But for scripting form controls it might be easier and reach more
browsers if you simply use
document.forms.formName.elements.freq.value = 'Kibology'
at least if the <input> sits inside of a
<form name="formName" ...>
ancestor.

Use document.getElementById("freq") to access this tag:

document.getElementById("freq").value="whatever";
