and back to my cell here at the asylum

I had a glorious idea strike me the other day, and I'm sure I'll eventually need some help from this great network of inmates.

so here I am, announcing my glorious return to programming.

very true, but I'm completely out of practice. I haven't done much of anything since early 2006
that's over 3 years! wow, I didn't intend it to be that long.

for anyone interested, I'm designing a website for a guitar effects pedal tone database. it will store the different makes/models in one table, and tones in another. I have a static version of what I'm eventually looking to achieve hacked together at http://www.ixifx.net/effectsSTATIC.html

I'm hoping I will be able to do everything I want with php/mysql and javascript.

I'm also hoping enough of the gurus are still around to be able to help me when I run in to problems, which I'm sure I will

so if any of you wonderful gurus are around, have a look at http://www.ixifx.net/workspace.php

this is the pedal creation page.

the idea I'm having for this is to use javascript to read the settings and spit out some xml, which will be sent to a hidden text field in the form then the form will be submitted to my pedals database.

I was finally able to figure out how to read the text in the settings, but I'm getting the word 'undefined' at the beginning of the first field.

anyone know what could be causing that?

code:
function writeXML(){
		var myTable=document.getElementById('settings');
		var len=myTable.getElementsByTagName("input").length;
		var working;
		var count=0;
		alert("Working Variable Check - \n myTable = " + myTable + "\n len= " + len + "\n count = " + count);
		for (count=0;count<len;count++){
			working = working + myTable.getElementsByTagName("input")[count].value + "\n";
			alert(working);
		}
		alert("Done");
		document.getElementById('xml').value = working;
	}



also, I have only tested this in FF 3.0.12 on xubuntu jaunty, so other browser tests would be helpful as well.

thanks in advance,

john
