Ok, so Javascript doesn't want to see my variable, here is part of the script.js file:

35: function send_input(formInput)	{

36: hide_input();

37: var inputName = formInput.name.value;

And my HTML:

<form name='input' action='#' method='get'>

Subject Name: <input type='text' name='name' value='name'>

Your Name: <input type='text' name='author' value='author'>

<input type='submit' onclick='send_input()'>

</form>

<a href='#' onclick='hide_input(this.form)'>Hide</a>

Please don't tell me to use Jslint.
But firebug is telling me it cannot see my formInput value!?!

Change your onclick to this:

<input type='submit' onclick='send_input([B]this.form[/B])'>

[Heaven1977]

onclick should be written as following to run

onclick="hide_input(this.form);"
or
onclick="javascript:hide_input(this.form);"

also refer to document.input =====> to refer to this form :)

check and tell me

...
Confused I'll try it now
Oops thats the type of embarrassing mistake I make,
still getting same error through!

[oldhendra]

Perhaps

<input type='submit' onclick='send_input(document.forms["input"])'>

?
But... doesn't it confusing to have it named as "input" ?

[bbqroast]

Oh gawd now i'm getting confused,

[oldhendra]

The line

<input type='submit' onclick='send_input(document.forms["input"])'>

is an alternative to:

 <input type='submit' onclick='send_input(this.form)'>

given by wim DC. Both should give the same result.

What errors did your browser report (beside the one firebug gave) ?
Are you using iframes/ frames? Probably you should show more code here...
