Retrieving Tables values with Javascript

[Draug]

Hi,

In my HTML, I have a series of tables within a form. Each table has 6 text boxes from which I want to retrieve the text entered.

The form is called "mainMenu". The tables are called "table1", "table2", ... And, the text boxes are called "text1", "text2", ... (exciting huh?)

If I name the textboxes distinctly, I can get at the value as follows: mainMenu.myUniqueBox.value
However, I wish to name the tables distinctly and use the tables to get at the text boxes that are not unique. I thought the following would work (but it does not): mainMenu.myUniqueTable.myBox.value

Any ideas? Can you get to tables, table rows, and table cells from within JavaScript? If so, how?

I am not sure that I explained myself well. If clarification is needed, just ask.

Thank you for your help.

document.mainMenu.text1[0].value for the first one, document.mainMenu.text1[1].value for the second one, etc.

That should work... I added "document." in front because Netscape usually gets mad if you don't do that.

Hope that helped.

So, I see that if there are multiple names the same, they are stored in an array, one index for each duplicate.

Thanks for the info.
