RE: Javascript and browser compatability - progress

Don't change button names w/innerHTML. Change them by changing the value
of the button. Here's my version of your cbt() function:

function cbt2(letter, newText) {
        var buttons2 = session + "/BUTTON.999-999=*" + letter; 
        document.getElementsByName(buttons2)[0].value=newText;
}

I forgot to say earlier that I had quite a few problems making the 
changes, because at one point something I had fixed (changing the text 
on mousover) suddenly stopped working, so I went back to my save of my 
RPG source and started again.  On the third attempt, I realised that the

culprit was

javascript:document.getElementById('popupText').innerHTML=msgt;}

which I had changed to getElementsByName.  Changing it back to Id solved

the problem and works in NS, Firefox and IE.

The same technique, using value instead of innerHTML did not work for 
the button names.

I can find no reference in any of my books to using

javascript:

in this way but I copied it from one of your samples (I think - Float?)

It is possible that I have achieved the result that I want in the wrong
way!

I will try and solve the button problem myself (but if  I don't succeed
...)

Many thanks

Best wishes

Rob
