Returning blanks

[Mark Manning]

Ok - my last attempt to post did nothing. So I'm trying this again.

I am trying to set a return value for what command to do next. There is a
hidden value in the form and I was using "onClick" and I tried "onSubmit".
When I trace this via FireFox's FireBug - it shows that it is being set.
But all I'm getting back is a blank. What am I doing wrong? (I know its
got to be something simple. )

Anyway, I've posted the code to http://tcf.sim1.us. If someone could take
a look and tell me where I'm being stupid I'd appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Strangely enough, there is no last attempt here, only a next attempt -- a
posting that appears to originate from you (albeit you use a pseudonym
there), using Thunderbird then, that is threadwise date-sorted after what I
am now replying to but has a previous timestamp. (Apparently
Thunderbird/Icedove 2.0.0.19 is confused by the different time zones?)

So I'm trying this again.

Not a good idea.

What is a "hidden value"?

in the form and I was using "onClick" and I tried "onSubmit".

On what?

Good for you. *What* is being set, BTW?

But all I'm getting back is a blank.

A blank -- *what*?

Your problem description is miraculous and you have posted the wrong URI.
There is no code to look at there, in fact it's 404-compliant.

Err, make that "cryptic" (or one of its synonyms). Found false friends there

Ok - since the first one did post (my bad) - I'll go with that thread.
