help with JavaScript in PHWeb screen

You are right Richard, the syntax should be PH_ACTION.value NOT
PH_ACTION.action.  I have corrected that oversite.

Try the following:

Bob,

Without seeing all of the source, I would suspect a few things.

* Your form does not have name, add <form name="form1" ....
This may be why javascript cannot find the object PH_ACTION.

Please continue further down.

"action" is probably not a property of the object PH_ACTION, however, if
your using the default generated input tag <input type="hidden"
name="PH_ACTION" value="">, value is a property of the object PH_ACTION.

Try the following:
    self.document.form1.PH_ACTION.value = action;
