Hi, I haven''t used javascript much until I have began to use prototype and scriptaculous so sorry for what is probably a really basic question. Each time I call a certain function I need to increment the value of a hidden field. I can find the value of that field fine using the $F() utility method, but cannot seem to find away to do increment the value by one and then write it back to the hidden field. Can someone please help, been banging my head of a brick wall for a cpl of hours trying to solve this as it seems so simple!

$().value = $F()++; From my understanding the $F() function returns the value but does not allow you the modify the value. -- Edward Grant themasternone-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
