Check the value of each - and see that they are not empty - you could add sophistication by doing a pattern match I guess.

or if you are just interested in how many they used, not whether they are empty or not, you could use something like this:
<script>
var boxes = new Array();

function focused(x)
{
boxes[boxes.length] = x.name;
}
</script>

<inpu type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;bob&quot; onfocus=&quot;focused(this);&quot;> luciddream@subdimension.com
