xxxx is not a function... ????

Hi, I'm kinda new to JavaScript, so it's the syntax that's got to be stumping me.

I've got the following function in an external file that contains other (working) scripts:

function billEQmail () {
form = document.forms[0];
if (form.billEQmail.checked) { // copy mailing info to billing fields
form.Baddress.value = form.Maddress.value;
form.Bcity.value = form.Mcity.value;
form.Bstate.value = form.Mstate.value;
form.Bzip.value = form.Mzip.value;
form.Bphone.value = form.Mphone.value;
form.Bemail.value = form.Email.value;
}
else { // clear billing fields
form.Baddress.value = "";
form.Bcity.value = "";
form.Bstate.value = "";
form.Bzip.value = "";
form.Bphone.value = "";
form.Bemail.value = "";
}
}

as you can see, all it does is copy fields to a series of other fields, or clear them...

When I load it up, Netscape's Javascript Console says "billEQmail is not a function".

Like I said, this function is defined in the same file as several other functions that are working fine.

I can't see any problems in the syntax, but if you can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

function billEQmail ()
There is a space between "billEQmail" and "()". Try it when you remove the space

no, the other functions have the same format... any other ideas?

hi ryanh

netscape may not understand referencing forms as a collection you may want to try something like this:

document.formB.Bzip.value = document.formM.Mzip.value;
document.formB.Bphone.value = document.formM.Mphone.value;
document.formB.Bemail.value = document.formM.Memail.value;


for forms...

<form name="formB">
<input type="text" name="Bzip" value="">Zip<br>
<input type="text" name="Bphone" value="">Phone<br>
<input type="text" name="Bemail" value="">Email<br>
</form>

and...

<form name="formM">
<input type="text" name="Mzip" value="99923">Zip<br>
<input type="text" name="Mphone" value="342-8291">Phone<br>
<input type="text" name="Memail" value="me@lalala.com">Email<br>
</form>

this does not really address your question i suppose as the error your are getting sounds like something different but maybe this could help

ps i tested this in IE.. i try and avoid netscape like the plague so this probably won't work either

JS is such a pain in the ***... apparently, it didn't like the name billEQmail... I changed it to copyAddress, and it worked perfectly...


grrrrrrr...
