Reference object by variable name

[sventekkrishti]

Hi,

Can someone please clarify for me whether the following is possible. Can i reference an object i.e. textbox on web page by a variable in javascript. Using the onchange event i am passing to my javascript function the name of the object. i.e. txtBox1 - can i then in my javascript function do the following and change the value ? :-

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
function ChangeValue(PassedName)
{
PassedName.value=&quot;NewValuesGoesHere&quot;
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

yes it can be done. u can pass the object itself.
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onclick=&quot;ChangeValue(this)&quot;>
(or)
<input type=&quot;text&quot; onclick=&quot;ChangeValue(document.FormName.txtbx)&quot; name=&quot;txtbx&quot;>


Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
