know if there is a input in the form 2

[tyris]

hi all,

i have a page that is dynamically filled. i mean i do have a form with many select, option, and textarea that are sometime in the page and sometime not (depends on many things).

what i'd like to know is if there is a way to know if the textarea, or the select named toto is on the page

i need to take the value entered in, but i know that if you do this for exemple :

document.myForm.toto.value
and if toto is not on the page, it will return an error.

is there a way to test if toto exists before to get the value ?

Best regards,
Elise

the following will return true:

typeof(document.myForm.toto)=="undefined"

if toto is not defined jared@aauser.com

or, you can use if(document.myForm.toto) adam@aauser.com

the browser gives this error :

Object doesn't support this property or method
