I tried to change a button name dynamically but couldn't. Here is the code, can someone tell me why?

<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<input type=button name=button1 value="START" onclick='StartWork()'>

Is this what you're going for?

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

    function change_button(this_button)
    {
        document.getElementById(this_button).value = (document.getElementById(this_button).value == 'Hello')? 'World' : 'Hello';
    }

</script>

<form action="javascript:void(0);">
    <input type='submit' name'button' value='Hello' id='this_button' onclick='change_button("this_button");' />
</form>

hth,
Rich
