Button Value...

[116]

Can the value of a button be changed 'onclick'? I am familiar with doing it
in VB, but in Java, I am missing it. I have a VB program with lots of common
formulas that people in the shop use, And normally I would have one button
'Calc' and change to 'Clear' onclick which would reset the fields.

I would avoid using Java - it's disabled or not even installed on a
significant number of PCs - perhaps more than 50%.

You could use javascript. Give the button an id
<input type="submit" value="Calc" id="buttonid">
and then use something like

getElementById["buttonid"].value = "Clear" [Not tested]

Something like this
<input type="button" id="b" value="press" onclick="this.value = 'you pressed
me';" />
or

<input type="button" id="b" value="press" />
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("b").onclick = function(){this.value = 'you pressed
me';};
</script>

Both would do the same thing.
