For Loop to access checkbox name

[getjbb]

I am trying to do a for loop function to validate a set of check boxes. The check boxes are named p_check with a number concatenated to it, which is called v_rows (p_check1, pcheck2, ext.)

I would like to do a for loop without having to access each name separately. There could be many.

An example of my input is:
<input TYPE="checkbox" onclick="ckBox_click(retr_form)" NAME="p_check'||v_rows||'" VALUE="'||v_checkbox_value||'" '|| v_stop_selected_checked ||'>

The v_ variables except for v_rows are set from a database resultset. V_rows count as the loop goes throught the database results.As a side note the data base is Oracle.

Below is what I have, but is not working:


function ckBox_click(theform)
{

for (i=1;i<=3;i++)
{
if (theform.["p_check"+i].checked == true)
{
theform["p_check"+i].value = "on";
}
else
{
theform.["p_check"+i].value = "off";
}
}
}

Hi

is not working

What do you mean ?

Note that you have extra dots ( . ) in two places between the form name an the subscript. I mean remove the [red]red[/red] one : theform[red].[/red]["p_check"+i].checked .

Assuming that retr_form's value was correctly set before the function call, it works for me. However, I can imagine no reason for changing the [tt]checkbox[/tt]es' [tt]value[/tt] that way.

feherke-

What I meant by it did not work is when I the function was called the value was not set to on or off.

I took out the period after the form name (theform) and now it work (Thanks).

I change the value checkbox value because I need to know what the value is further down in my code to pass a variable to an Oracle package.
