form element values

Hi,

I am having problems reflecting the form element values .

I have a page with a form with a text box. I am trying to change the
value of this text box to something depending on user action. However
i am not able to do so. Following is the HTML code i have written

**********************
<FORM NAME="hwForm" METHOD="POST" ACTION="hwinventory.asp">
<INPUT TYPE="text" ID="assetIDList" VALUE="init"></INPUT><BR>
</FORM>


function changeValue()
{
self.document.getElementById("assetIDList").Value= "test"
}
*********************

after calling changeValue() the text in the textbox does not get
reflected.

is there another way to achieve this

You need to use "value" instead of "Value".

Write 100 times "JavaScript is case sensitive".

(I didn't, and now my book on CSS has two occurrences of the spelling
"getElementbyID", and I'm ashamed. Luckily I tested the code samples,
and they have the correct spelling, so maybe nobody will notice.)
