it keeps people from running scripts that will break or damage the forums. Not so weird in that respect.

that space is automatic? weird.

The space is added automatically by vB.

You're welcome.

thanks though.

&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
<!--
var x = 2; // initial value

var max = 4; // ceiling

var min = 1; // floor


function add()

    validate(); // check if the number is too high or too low
    update(); // call update HTML output after increment

function sub()

    update(); // call update HTML output after decrement

well i figured out the problem, my computer isnt pasting things off my clipboard right, so i was missing some bits of the script.

but i have another problem.
i want to put this

  var max = 4;
	
	if (x > max)
	{ x = 1 }
	
	if (x < 1)
	{ x = max }

into the code so it doesnt go below 0 or above a set max,
but it doesnt work.

i didnt alter the script.

i want something entirely javascript.
last time i tried a total page refresh it set x back to 1. would i need the x=1 and all that in an external script to make the refresh work?

how would the images for text work? something like this?
document.write ("")

I'm not able to recreate that error. Unless - did you alter the code any, or did you just do a copy and paste?

BTW, and innerHTML is the standard way of doing this. Your other options include using a textbox, or images for text, or have the whole page refresh to update the number (which can be done by a server-side script or even just javascript).
