Highlight/Copy Text Area inside a script

Mrs. H · #1 04-23-2003, 06:22 AM

Hello...

...okay, i need serious help. I am using a script from Dynamic Drive on a webpage and it is working great. Thing is i want to add another script inside this script to "tweak it"... i guess that would be the phrase to use.
The script i am using is the Dynamic Image selector Script (i'll add the scripts below so you can see what i am using and to give an idea of what i want to do) and i want to add the Select (and copy) Form Element Script inside the first so that the image description will show up in a text area and can be highlighted/copied. Does anyone know how i would go about doing this?

DYNAMICDRIVE IMAGE SELECTOR

<form name="dynamicselector">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="178">
<tr>
<td width="35%" valign="top" align="left">
<select name="dynamicselector2" size="4" onChange="generateimage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">

<option value="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1565924940.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" selected>DHTML Guide</option>
<option value="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0201353415.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg">DHTML QuickStart</option>
<option value="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1556225865.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg">HTML4</option>
<option value="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1861001746.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg">IE5 DHTML</option>
</select>
</td>
<td width="65%" valign="top" align="left"><ilayer id="dynamic1" width=100% height=178><layer id="dynamic2" width=100% height=178><div id="dynamic3"></div></layer></ilayer></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

}

function generatedefault(){
generateimage(tempobj.options[tempobj.options.selectedIndex].value)
}

if (ie4||ns6||document.layers){
if (tempobj.options.selectedIndex!=-1){
if (ns6)
generatedefault()
else
window.onload=generatedefault
}
}

</script>

<style>
.highlighttext{
background-color:yellow;

}
</style>
