you'd access the field with

document.forms[0].trial.value'
so if you want to append to the string when submit is pressed try:

&lt;script&gt;
 function poo() {
  document.forms[0].trial.value += 'DEF';
 }
&lt;/script&gt;


<FORM onSubmit="poo()">
.
.
.

'
hope this helps

i wanna use the same string, no matter what the user enters.

i tried a javascript code, but it didn't seem to reassign the value of "trial."

more info...
will you always append with the same string?
or is there more logic behind it?.....
if (trial=="this") { trial = "this and that" }
if (trial=="jack") { trial = "jack and jill" }
