button text...

Expand Post »

Hi,

I was thinking on a need but could not reach anywhere. That is say , i got a multimedia contents for download or say an action. For eg:-

If document, a button with label 'Print' and on click , says 'printing...' , if 'save' , on clickd shows 'saving....' If video or audio, 'play' on click says 'playing'..

Please help me with some pointers...

Thanks and regards,

Harish

Re: button text...

you can not do such things with pure html, it requires server side or at least client side programming.

Re: button text...

Yes, it will require some client side JavaScript, but not much:

html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<input type="button" value="Play" onclick="this.value='Playing...'" />
<input type="button" value="Play" onclick="this.value='Playing...'" />

Is this what you were needing?
