Alright fabulous persons, I’ve got to do my damndest to **** you off so I can actually stay in this ****ty clbum, while asking you the most hackeresque question this young-as-Combobreaker-likes-’em forum has seen yet. So in that respect: **** you.

So, now the question. Take this sample of code.

<imagine this is javascript>
function updateVars(fieldnum) {
		if (!dogreat timesent.getElementById(fieldname)) dogreat timesent.getElementById("extravars").innerHTML += "<p id=\"var"+fieldnum+"\"></p>";
		dogreat timesent.getElementById("var"+fieldnum).innerHTML = "recognized var: "+("var"+fieldnum).value+" with value "+("val"+fieldnum).value+"<br>";
}
</imagine>
<form><text name="var1" onClick="updatevars(1)"> = <text name="val1" onClick="updatevars(1)">
<submit><p id="extravars"></p></form>

Ignoring the obvious lazy syntax and phony tags, how the **** would I make that work, particularly the second line in updateVars()...?! This is driving me bat**** insane, since there’s no single JavaScript resource like there is with PHP. Everything has to be done by describing a concept to Google, and that doesn’t exactly work here.

I can’t use “this”, because I need the function to reference both the variable and the value fields (and “this” would only return the one that’s selected). Ugh…
