Incompatible Functions?

[johnnyi]

Howdy,

I have two separate functions, both which work as intended but only if executed separately (i.e. from two separate buttons). Problem is, I can neither combine these into one function, nor execute with a onclick="formtypearray();testthis();" event.

function formtypearray()
{
	document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = '';

	var incominglist;
	incominglist = document.getElementById('PeopleArray').value;
	
	var str = incominglist;
	var a1  = new Array();
	a1 = str.split("|");
	
	for (i=0;a1.length-1;i++)
	{
		a1[i] = document.getElementById(a1[i]+'2').value;
		document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value.concat('|',a1[i]);
	}
}

function testthis()
{
	var thestring;
	thestring = document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value;

	document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = thestring.substr(1);
}

Can anyone enlighten me as to why I can't combine these into one function like this? (or run the two functions separately in one onclick event)?

function formtypearray()
{
	document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = '';

	var incominglist;
	incominglist = document.getElementById('PeopleArray').value;
	
	var str = incominglist;
	var a1  = new Array();
	a1 = str.split("|");
	
	for (i=0;a1.length-1;i++)
	{
		a1[i] = document.getElementById(a1[i]+'2').value;
		document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value.concat('|',a1[i]);
	}

	var thestring;
	thestring = document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value;

	document.getElementById('FunctionArray').value = thestring.substr(1);
}

Thanks,

PS - Let me know if you need any more detail - such as the HTML code.

Should be fine. Note that the second function will overwrite the value given to FunctionArray by the first, though.

An URL would be nice.
