Check object name existence

[foxbox]

My ASP program creates a random number of INPUT fields (i do not know the number in advance). The fields have a sequential name, like "F1", "F2", "F3", etc. After SUBMIT every field with a value must be processed.
So my program must check document.form.f1.value up to and including document.form.f??.value. . .
how?

(one alternative is to put a hidden field in the form with the maximum fieldnumber; but is there a more elegant way?) br

I think you have the right idea with the hidden field unless you want to scan the raw input looking

DIM I
DIM J
FOR I = 1 TO 32767
    J = Instr(raw,"F" & CStr(I) & "=" ,1) ' Text Compare
    IF J = 0 Then Exit For
    ' process data
NEXT

I've been working on desktop to IBM Mainframe for a while so I disremeber how to access the raw input in ASP but it is there somewhere in the REQUEST object.

check out using window.document.all

My own alternative is workable. I looked into document.all and now i have a lot of new ideas, but that's for later.

Maybe the following JavaScript helps:

	var frm = document.frmINPUT;

	for (i=0;i<frm.elements.length;i++)
	{
		e = frm.elements[i];

		if (e.type=='checkbox') {
			...
		}
		if (e.type=='text') {
			...
		}
	}
