[Pooj]

I have a form having field as below :

<input type="text" maxlength="12" id="attributes1" name="Alert Code"
value="001" onChange="convert(this)">

I want to alert the value inputted by the user in this field. The form
name is MainForm. I used :

alert(document.MainForm["0_Alert Code"].value)

Since you are passing a reference to the convert function, you can
simply use that reference:

function convert(fieldRef){
alert(fieldRef.value)
}

alert(document.MainForm["0_Alert Code"].value)

But it is giving some wiered numbers like 91807168

since you use 0_Alert Code in the script but Alert Code in the HTML, its
totally surprising you got the alert at all.

Everything is "urgent" until you are dead, then it doesn't matter anymore.
