Hi,

 

there are two ways to do this. The easy one is to change the code to

 

var answer = document.getElementById("Ans1");

 

But if you want to use the object name you need to specifiy the complete "path" to the input. It might be something like:

 

var answer = document.getElementById("{!$Component.theForm.theBlock.theSection.theSectionID.ChangeRequest}");

 

You need to give the forms and all other ensted element an Id so you can build this path. 

 

I'm not sure I did explain this very well, but I hope it makes sense!

 

Cheers!
