Handling a Space in the name of a text box

[danman226]

I am looking for a way to run the code below:

if (newForm.Registration Code.value == "&quot{
alert("You must enter a Registration Code&quot
newForm.Registration Code.focus()
return false
}

The problem is there is a space character in the name of the text field.

How can I read the value of a form element if there is a space in the name? Do I have to make the space an under score?

Hi danman,

Most people use "camel case," i.e. RegistrationCode. You could also use an underscore. However, you can't have a space there.

The old thought is that methods are lower-case first word, with a camel case from there, while objects are uppercase first word, camel case from there:

A function would be registerCode(), your id would be RegistrationCode.

Of course, it's your code, do what you'd like-- other than spaces )

Thanks. I thought that might be true but I wanted to be sure.
