Is it possible to do this with dynamic parameters for the function. Since my fields are dynamically generated, like
<%
for i = 1 to 12
for j = 1 to 12 %>
<TD width=35><font face='Arial,Helvetica' size='2'>
<input type=text name=expense_<%=i%>_<%=j%>>
</font></TD>
<%next %>
</TR><TR>
<%next %>
and I do not know how many fields are there or what their names are ??
Shiva.

I am presuming you have a dynamically generated form, probably based on a data base query. If that is so than this is how I would go about it.
Step 1. Generate the specific input tags you want to deal with by labelling them with a common class name and a consistent id attribute.
<input type="Text" id="#loopcounter#visible" class="findTheseOnes">
<input type="Hidden" id="hidden#loopcounter#">
Step 2. Use the tags() function to get a collection of all the input fields on the form.
var bigColletion = document.all.tags("INPUT"
Step 3. Use the className property to filter the list down to just the fields you are interested in.
for(i=0; i<bigColletion.length; i++)
{
if(bigCollection.item.className == "findTheseOnes"
{
//What is the number
tmp = parseInt(bigCollection.item(i).id);
//Perform required manipulations
newvalue = bigCollection.item(i).value + 1;
//Transfer values from visible to hidden
target = eval("document.all.hidden" + tmp);
target.value = newvalue;
}
}
I am posting a complete working test file below if you want to give it a whirl.
