Thanks! That did it! Can you take a look at where I ultimately need to go with this?
This page... http://www.eastexhaust.com/inventory_.php ...has two forms. First one generates a part number via ajax. The next form sends us the part number with name, phone, email, etc. I'm trying to get the same part number that appears via ajax, to populate the value of the id="partnum" element in the second form. I can get it to work in FF by taking the ajax code: if (http_request.status == 200) { //alert(http_request.responseText); result = http_request.responseText; document.getElementById('myspan').innerHTML = result; ...and adding this: document.getElementById('partnum').value= result; You can see that version here: http://www.eastexhaust.com/inventory_1.php Unfortunately, that does not work in IE. Hence, I'm hoping jQuery can solve the problem. Or that someone can tell how to get the "non-jQuery version" that works in FF to work in IE. Thanks again for your help so far, and for any further help you can give me!
