Question about object arrays

[knuckle05]

Hi All,

Could someone please help me with this.

I would like to do an array of hidden textboxes to hold an identity key.

Do I need to reference each one differently like txt1, txt2, txt3, etc. or can I keep the same name for each box? If so, how would I reference it afterwords, meaning, how could I be sure that I'm looking at the correct value.

I'm sure of seen something like this before regarding checkbox arrays in HTML. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thx

U can use the same name for each like so:

<form id=&quot;ff&quot; name=&quot;ff&quot;>
<input id=&quot;tx1&quot; name=&quot;tx1&quot; value=&quot;one&quot; />
<input id=&quot;tx1&quot; name=&quot;tx1&quot; value=&quot;two&quot; />
<input id=&quot;tx1&quot; name=&quot;tx1&quot; value=&quot;three&quot; />
</form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function displayit(){
alert(document.ff.tx1[0].value);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Hope this helps

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;go&quot; onclick=&quot;displayit()&quot;/>

Thanks,

It makes sense. What I want to do though is have a list of hyperlinks with a value inside the hidden textbox beside that hyperlink.

If I click on the 4th hyperlink and would like to get ID# 4 from the hidden textbox, how can I reference it if it is called [tx1]? I know that in js i could do a tx1[3], but how can I get that ordinal value?

<form>
<a onclick=&quot;displayit(0);&quot;>ONE</a>
<input id=&quot;tx1&quot; name=&quot;tx1&quot; value=&quot;one&quot; />
<a onclick=&quot;displayit(1);&quot;>ONE</a>
<input id=&quot;tx1&quot; name=&quot;tx1&quot; value=&quot;two&quot; />

</form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function displayit{
alert(document.ff.tx1[n].value);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
