Manipulating contents of Text Field

[RV Chris]

My task is to build a login form. My only tool is HTML - the site does not
have Coldfusion. It is a very simple form except that the username needs to be
concatenated with the text '@mydomain.com'

Instead of just:
username: ______________
Password: ______________

I need it to be Username: ________________ @mydomain.com
Password: __________________

When the user clicks 'submit', I want the form.username contents to be
'username@mydomain.com'
I think it would be logical to handle this in the processing script, but I
have no control over that file - someone else, far away is doing that and it
handles more than just my login form. I could do it in Coldfusion, naming the
field username1, and then creating a hidden field called Username that =
#username1#@mydomain.com But, I don't have coldfusion for this page.

I know nothing about Java, but I'm wondering if that is where my solution is?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx

Use this script in the head section of your html document.
Change:
"formname" to yours
"textfieldname" to your text field name.

function dothis()
{ document.formname.textfieldname.value =
document.formname.textfieldname.value + "@domain.com";
}
</script>


Then add this to your text field properties:

onBlur="dothis();"


When the user clicks off of the text field it will concantenate for you.

Sorry I forgot the Jscript part. Here ya go:

<script language="JavaScript">
function dothis()
{ document.formname.textfieldname.value =
document.formname.textfieldname.value + "@domain.com";
}
</script>

That's the only reliable way.

You can do it with Javascript (not Java!), but what if the user has JS
disabled or not available at all? It will break the script.
