Thanks, but it didn't work.
The form did not function properly, as it did before. The variable drive1 was not handled correctly in the result.

ill clean up the mess i have made,
function tryagain(){
var blankCheck = /^ *$/;
var obj = document.frm;
var drive = obj.drive1.value;
var user = obj.user.value;
var path = 'file:///'+drive+'|/window
if(!blankCheck.test(user))
path = 'file:///'+drive+'|/window
}
alert(path);
window.open(path);
}
also, ignore the changestyle function. it didn't know i mixed the code together with the project im working on. anything else im missing?

forkush,
well you did not really specify what you needed, all I had to go on was your subject line.

BrunoBear,
I couldn't help but notice how Experts' time is wasted as a result of poorly formulated questions, or questions that lead to an endless stream of other questions and etc. I wonder if we should post a message to community support so that the guidelines are updated in such a way to encourage those who ask questions to do so in a thoughtful, careful manner.
I have learned from experience that if I take an extra five minutes to formulate my questions, I get targeted, specific answers that really help me.
Of course, that's just my two cent's worth...

Fritz,
Agreed, but I don't know that different guidelines would really help.
Certain people will post very targeted questions, certain won't.
More or less here I was playing devils advocate. I'm not that great with javascript, so I didn't even try to touch it. I knew the form would not work the way the user wanted to, but I just wanted to make a point that according to what they left, that's what I gave them. :-) If I thought I could have updated the script as well, I probably would have.

Fritz and Brunobear,
I apologize for my inexact question. I'll try to do better next time. I've asked 25 questions here, and it's only the second or third time I've received a "What a dumb question," response. That's not too bad, is it?
If you read http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20020314.html , you'll find that my claim to fame is that I don't know what I'm doing, I just "rely on the kindness of strangers" to do much of the work. Now I'm being told I don't even know how to ask the questions!

This comment, combined with Third's follow-up comment, does the trick.
>>it's only the second or third time I've received a "What a dumb question," response.
lol....it is not so much that is was dumb, as there really was not a question posed except what was in the subject line. As I said, even if the question had been better, I still couldn't have done more....
