Problematic Text!

**Softie2k** · 04-21-2008, 09:44 PM

I've almost completed my code for my Horoscope page, but I am unable to get the actual text to fit into my Textarea.

Can anyone point out what I've done wrong?

It's late and I'm getting tired

<html>

<head>
<script type = "text/javascript">

function showChoices() {
var message = "";
var pick1 = document.myForm.month.selectedIndex;
var pick2 = document.myForm.date.selectedIndex;
if (pick1 == 2 && pick2 > 29) {message = "Invalid date"}
else if ((pick1 == 4 || pick1 == 6 || pick1 == 9 || pick1 == 11) && (pick2 > 30)) {message =

"Invalid Date"}
else {
message = myForm.txt1.value = document.myForm.month.options(pick1).value + " " +

document.myForm.date.options(pick2).value;
}
document.myForm.txt1.value = message;
}

var starsign = ""
if (pick1 == 1 && pick2 <= 14) {starsign = "Pisces"}
if (pick1 == 1 && pick2 >= 15) {starsign = "Cancer"}
if (pick1 == 2 && pick2 <= 14) {starsign = "Cancer"}

if (starsign == "Cancer") {
document.getElementById("horror").value = Cancertext;
}

var Cancertext = "Mars is in trine with Uranus in Pisces this week so take extra care when

when walking across six-lane motorways. You will receive an unexpected surprise if you hand

over your credit card or bank details in response to an email."

I'm sorry, it doesn't seem to have worked. Did you change the position of the var Cancertext ?

**Nile** · 04-21-2008, 10:30 PM

Yes, I did.

**Softie2k** · 04-21-2008, 10:55 PM

Do you have any other possible remedies? I mean, do I need to include another button to move the Var Cancertext into the Textarea?

**Softie2k** · 04-22-2008, 01:22 PM

Sorry just bumping my thread as I am desperate for a remedy!
