javascript download counter

Expand Post »
I'd like to know how to write a downloads counter that changes a var in an external .js file??
the var is named after the id of the textbox that displays the number held within that var...

eg:
external file:
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. var txtbx = 0

html:
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <script type="text/javascript">
  2. count() //writes the increased value to the var in the external file 
  3. //(var to change is based on the input ID)
  4. </script>
  5.  
  6. <a href... onclick="count()">download</a> 
  7. <span style="align:right">
  8. Downloads: <input type="textbox" id="txtbx" value=txtbx>
  9. </span>

can anyone help??

Re: javascript download counter
also...
off topic...
but...

how do you shorten something like this down:
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <td style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" align='center' width="15%" id="switch" class="tbl_off" 
  2. onMouseOver="rollover(this,'tbl_ovr')" onMouseOut="rollover(this,'tbl_off')" 
  3. onClick="if 
  4. (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[3].style.display != ''){
  5. this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[3].style.display = ''; 
  6. this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[4].style.height='42%';
  7. this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[5].style.height='42%';
