Thanks to John and Jerry for responding.  We ended up solving the problem a
couple of minutes ago.  This is what we used on the form and it seems to
work. This is triggered by a button on the form.  Thanks again for your
help.

for(i = 0; i < document.forms.frmContract.length; i++)
{
	if(document.forms.frmContract.elements[i].getAttribute("type") ==
"text") 
 		document.forms.frmContract.elements[i].value = "0";
}

David,

One thought to your problem is to give the textboxes you need changed on
your page an id with a unique prefix (for example, "txt_1", "txt_2" etc.),
then loop through all text boxes. Then use the substr(0, 4) method to match
all of the ids within the loop that match "txt_", and set those to Zero
(using getElementById).

This would work with ie 5+ and NS6 only though...
