How do i add varibable to document.forms 3

[louistaub]

At the moment I can update an input box using this code.

parent.Details.document.forms[0].Qty_0.value=123

But there are a number of Qty boxes on my form eg Qty_1, Qty_2. What I would like to do is put a variable in place of the Qty_0, eg

parent.Details.document.forms[0].variable.value=123

this obviously doesn't work, so does any one know of a way of achieving this.

Thanks

Louis

louistaub-

Try setting the variables in JavaScript like this:

varName = control;

When you call this variable in the body of your script, simply refer to it by variable name. For example, if you were to set the text for a control in your form as stated above, you would simply declare the variable as:

varName = parent.Details.document.forms[0].Qty_0;

When setting the text, you would write:

varName.value = "123";

If this isn't the kind of functionality that you were looking for, please let me know, and I'll try something different. Hope it helps.

do this instead:

parent.Details.document.forms[0][variable].value=123
