Looping throught the controls on an html form

vbscripter · Jul 18, 2001

Dear All

I would like to find out if there is a way of loop through an HTML form in order to two add up the values in a number of text boxes. The number of text boxes are not fixed and not named consistantly.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
John

U have to use JavaScript...
Like this
<HTML>
<BODY>
<input id=text1 name=text1><br>
<input id=text2 name=text2><br>
<input id=text3 name=text3><br>
<input id=text4 name=text4><br>
<input id=text5 name=text5><br>
</BODY>
<script language=javascript>
var coll = document.all.tags("INPUT&quot

;
if (coll!=null)
{
for(i=0;i<coll.length;i++)
coll.value="value "+i;
};
</script>
</HTML>

in VBScript i dont know if this is possible ________

This is probably a stupid question, but I understand each line of your script except this:

coll.value="value" +i;

what is in "value" that you are adding i to?

This line add an string to the textboxes
"value" could be anything else...

coll.value="My textbox number " +i;
