I have A1 through A10, and I need to pass a number to them...

As of now I'm doing
document.all("A1").value to set the value...

Is there any way in a function that I could NAME what thing I want it to pass my information to?...

I have to pass a number, and I have to pass what should be passed along after that...(confusing part)

function passa1(obj)
{
rate=0.345
document.all("A1").value = obj * rate
addem()

I'm already getting value of 1 textbox...how could I make the area A1 a variable and pass it?...I've tried

function passa1(obj, pass)
{
rate=0.345
document.all(pass).value = obj * rate
addem()

and tried passing "A1" as pass using

onchange="passa1 (M1, A1)" but it doesn't seem to work...any help? Regards,

Here's one thing you could try: pass the value of A1 as a string, like this:
Code: 
onchange="passa1 (M1, 'A1')"
If that doesn't work, let us know. There's other things to try.

I've tried doing it that way, I always get SOMETHING that messes up that way...like an undefined object...when I have all my objects named, id'd and classified...=P

Is there any other way to do it? Regards,

No URL...it's on an INTRAnet...not internet.

And the problem usally varies all over the place...I could probably post full code for you to see...
Here...=P
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<!-- #include virtual=&quot;/common/scripts/db.vbs&quot; -->
<link href=&quot;/common/style.css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
</head>

<script>
function validate(obj)
{
if(isNaN(obj.value))
alert(&quot;Input Format Error&quot;)
if(isNaN(obj.value))
obj.value=&quot;0&quot;
}

function addem()
{
The1 = parseInt(document.all(&quot;A1&quot;).value)
[b](etc... etc...)[/b]
document.all(&quot;total&quot;).value = The1 + The2 + The3 + The4 + The5 + The6 + The7 + The8 + The9 + The10
}

function passa1(obj)
{
rate=0.345
	document.all(&quot;A1&quot;).value = parseInt(obj) * rate
	addem()
}
[b](etc...goes on w/ function names...passa2, passa3)[/b]

...........on and on down the code after all the junk + tables.........


    <tr>
      <td width=&quot;103&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T1&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;></font></td>
      <td width=&quot;98&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T2&quot; size=&quot;7&quot;></font></td>
      <td width=&quot;123&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T3&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;></font></td>
      <td width=&quot;374&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;T5&quot; size=&quot;41&quot;></font></td>
      <td width=&quot;167&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;M1&quot; id=&quot;M1&quot; onchange=&quot;passa1(m1.value) &quot;size=&quot;7&quot;></font></td>
      <td width=&quot;102&quot;>0.345</td>
      <td width=&quot;101&quot;><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot;><b>$<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;A1&quot; size=&quot;6&quot; class=&quot;fax&quot; value=&quot;0&quot;></b></font></td>
    </tr>

I'm trying to pass what is entered into M1, etc, to A1, etc...after doing some calculation, and other stuff...
then when that's passed it adds up all the totals of the A's...like a spreadsheet...any help?...I'm going MAD! Regards,
