<body>
<form name="a" action="l.html" method="post">
<input type="text" name="b"><input type="text" name="c">
<button onclick="java_change()">Change</button></form>
</body>
</html>
The fixes are here:
1) give your elements an id alongside their name. The id and name can be the same.
2) use the w3c document.getElementById() to reference the elements instead of the flat IE DOM model.
It (the <button> was submitting the form, where I want javascript to do it.
Question is: "Is there a possibility to stop the <button> element from submitting a form?".
Thnx.
