function calling different values

**kitten2781** · 01-23-2007, 12:06 AM

I have a function that prints defined text onto the page. I want the function to print the "name" of the item it is running. For example:
<head>
function writeNote(){
document.FormName.TextBoxName.value = "NO SIGNAL";
}
</head>
<body>
<span id="WriteNotes" onClick="writeNote(DisplayCompleteNotes)">Text</span>
</body>

What this does is display "NO SIGNAL" in a defined area when "Text" is clicked with the mouse. I want to be able to have a list of values called and the function choosing the correct value that is matched with the id/name, OR have the tag id or name printed instead.

How can I do this?
