Space in object name

I have a button that puts a value into a field. It work when there is no
space in the field name. But doesn;t work if there is. How can I make it
work.

<input type="text" name="with space" value=""> <input type="button"
name="defualt" value="NewValue" onclick="with space.value='NewValue';">

Thanks
Oak

That's easy, stop using spaces in object names. That's just the first
problem you've encountered, and if you continue using spaces, you will find
so many other "space in name" related problems.

Oh, hooray, you found the answer. Now you have something that accidently
works in internet Explorer, but doesn't work in Opera or Firefox. %20 is
just as bad as a space, since % is an operator (modulo) and therefor
reserved.

I'm sure you have a reason for what you are doing and you must be thinking
spaces schmaces, what's the difference. You have the right to believe so and
I don't object that. Still, you might concider what I told you. You might
concider why the rest of the world coders _don't_ use space in variable and
object names*. There's a reason for that.

*) okay, now someone's gonna tell me that there's some frikkin badass
programming language that does allow spaces in names, but that's not the
point here.
